Really?

We all have our crosses to bear and yours are no greater than mine. I realize it's all relative and, frankly, I am a believer that we are not given more than we can handle; however, it does seem that some of us must endure more, must work through pain, be it physical or emotional, time and time again, must experience highs and lows that come from a place so seemingly unmerciful that at times you can do little more than scratch your head and think... really?
