unforced error

1.) In tennis, a missed shot due not to an opponent's skill but to the player's own mistakes and inattentiveness.

2.) In politics, a polite way of saying that someone has screwed up royally, creating a crisis not because of events out of their control but through their own tactless decisions.
1.) Bobby Sands missing that shot at Wimbeldon was an unforced error.

2.) President Trump's declaration during the 2016 election that Mexican migrants are "bringing crime" and are "rapists" was an unforced error on his part which later complicated his attempts to strike a deal with Democrats on immigration reform.

Unfair

What I tend to be in my judgement of people from time to time.
I know that I have a tendency to be unfair in my judgement of others... But when I complain about unfairness all I get is a shrug emoji and a reminder that "life is unfair"... And my question is: Am I less or more unfair? Further more, how much is everyone around me doing to make it fair? Or less fair? I know I tend to be harsh but I'm being slowly suffocated by the bandaid solutions of the people who have the means to right the wrongs in my life immediately. And to what end? Because the unfairness is deserved? It's my just-desserts for not doing the thing they want me to do. God this is frustrating... I don't want the people around me to feel bad because I know that it isn't really their fault but, at the same time, if it was their fault they would never admit it.
