Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I thank you for attending here tonight. Tonight's lesson shall be about fairness. The Father in heaven is consistently fair and just. Life, to you, seems to be full of injustice and unfairness and this is so because you have such a relatively short lifetime in which to experience life and all its ups and downs.

===Lesson===
 
To the young, everything seems quite unfair and unjust. To those among you who are older and somewhat wiser, who see life in a more coherent wholeness, there seems to be quite a lot of justice and fairness in the world. Also, part of the reason for this conception is your conception that this lifetime is all there is so when someone dies young its seems to be terribly unfair and yet if you could see the long-term view of that person's existence in the afterlife, you would see that there early death here created wondrous and ample opportunities in the next existence.

===Dialogue===
 
Q: Ham, the lesson seems fairly self-evident and self-explanatory. I wonder about the timing of your lesson on fairness. Is there a particular reason you choose to talk to us about this topic tonight?

Ham: Yes, daughter, this is part of making this transition from young adulthood into adulthood. It is a time when decisions seem to be so big and indeed often times the course of one's life is set in these early years. But, if you will think of decisions as doors, you can make a decision to open this door that will lead to another door and another and another. Often times you will come to a place from one direction that you would have come to from another if you had chosen a different way. Remember too that the life experience is very much about releasing your own inner potential and this is also know as self-realization. You and everyone else are in a state of change, inner change, and this inner flux can feel like being lost, but it is not so. It is just the time period between that potential coming to the surface and actualizing in the world. So, really the great mystery is who am I. And, that search and that process of self-discovery is what plays out over a lifetime and through all kinds of different circumstances. So, when you are choosing a path, think to yourself will this help me be a better me? Will this help me explore my potential and lead me to greater things? All of experience is part of that learning of who we are, what our purpose is. So, don't be afraid. Do what you feel in your heart is the best thing for you and all will be well.
