We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Happy Fairness means being impartial, respectful, true and just,  It means treating people with the humanity that they’ve earned, Throwing in some decency, tolerance and integrity is, for many, a must, As well as any civil and rational behaviors previously learned. I have a very strong sense of fairness, due to the all unfairness that I’ve seen, And not just to me, but when other people are treated unfairly too, I know how awful it feels to suffer injustice, and I hate it when anyone’s Mean,  But I especially hate it when friends betray friends, that’s something you just don’t do. I’ve had a few pals, a few cronies, a few chums, who absolutely stabbed me in the back, Without a second thought either, just took something they wanted and to heck with me, A potential romance, a job opportunity, a privilege I was due--just an absolute bushwhack, Almost with a maniacal glee to see me suffer thus proving they were never Family. It’s heartbreaking--after I was so sure I could trust their loyalty, The one thing I could count on--I  thought I at least had that, Then realizing I never really knew them at all--seeing what villains they could be, And then I started worrying that every friendship would end in psychological combat. But there is still fairness to be found in the world, and that fairness can begin with you,  Don’t let them corrupt you with their bitter selfishness, like someone corrupted them, This doesn’t mean to just let people walk all over you, no, you deserve respect too, As long as you earn it, it’s not an automatic thing, that’s unfair, and that would be mayhem. But disrespect shouldn’t be automatic either, so don’t pick fights just because you expect fights,  Odd as it sounds, but bullies are people too--they want Balance and Growth and all that stuff, They attack others to avoid winding up in someone else’s sights, But if you uphold Happy Fairness then you’ll show others that enough’s enough. In my younger school days I was bullied by groups of kids, but not if I could get them alone, Then they actually talked to me and were even Nice, though I knew it wouldn’t last, They didn’t want to get targeted for not going along, they couldn’t handle being on their own, In college I even did Nice things for my bullies--you wouldn’t believe the goodwill that amassed. Sure, I wished they would all get boils up their rears and worms in their ears,  But I never actually did anything to them, I just maintained my own sense of fair play,  So when others tried to target them, I stood up for them even against my peers, And converted many bullies into friends, staying true to myself and the Inherently Happy Way.

It’s heartbreaking--after I was so sure I could trust their loyalty, The one thing I could count on--I  thought I at least had that, Then realizing I never really knew them at all--seeing what villains they could be, And then I started worrying that every friendship would end in psychological combat. But there is still fairness to be found in the world, and that fairness can begin with you,  Don’t let them corrupt you with their bitter selfishness, like someone corrupted them, This doesn’t mean to just let people walk all over you, no, you deserve respect too, As long as you earn it, it’s not an automatic thing, that’s unfair, and that would be mayhem. But disrespect shouldn’t be automatic either, so don’t pick fights just because you expect fights,  Odd as it sounds, but bullies are people too--they want Balance and Growth and all that stuff, They attack others to avoid winding up in someone else’s sights, But if you uphold Happy Fairness then you’ll show others that enough’s enough. In my younger school days I was bullied by groups of kids, but not if I could get them alone, Then they actually talked to me and were even Nice, though I knew it wouldn’t last, They didn’t want to get targeted for not going along, they couldn’t handle being on their own, In college I even did Nice things for my bullies--you wouldn’t believe the goodwill that amassed. Sure, I wished they would all get boils up their rears and worms in their ears,  But I never actually did anything to them, I just maintained my own sense of fair play,  So when others tried to target them, I stood up for them even against my peers, And converted many bullies into friends, staying true to myself and the Inherently Happy Way.
