The Colour of Fairness?

RAW
4 min readJul 31, 2022

--

A female with skin the color of coffee with a single-cream, wearing a baby blue acrylic vest and beige pants is kneeling on a brown velour sofa. She’s hunched over in pain, clutching her stomach. Her medium length, dark brown hair is wavy and messy. Her left ear is exposed. Her right temple is touching the sofa. The remaining right side of her face is slightly lifted from the sofa.

If someone asked me to describe an experience where I believed I’d been treated unfairly, I’d try to make it a teachable, emotional-quotient (EQ) moment by conveying the mood and transmitting the feelings connected to the occurrence.

So, let us begin with my description.

What Does Unfairness Feel Like?

You’re going about your day, minding your business when someone randomly punches you smack dab in the middle of your stomach.

Out of nowhere.

You’re defenseless to the unexpected assault.

Doubled-over in pain.

Now, hold the intensity of that episode in your mind.

Add onto that sensation there’s no acknowledgment from the perpetrator about your welfare.

And no apology was offered to you from the perpetrator for their nonsensical abuse.

You might even be shocked by their callous behavior!

But remember, act as if nothing happened.

Just continue on with whatever you were doing.

Before their random knock came and disrupted your life.
