    I'm agreeing with Hexie on this one.

    My beginning is in First and not in Last. (beginning of first is "F")
    My Middle is in Sad and in Happy (middle of sad and happy is "a")
    My ending is Rust as well as in Rest. (Rust and rest both begin with R. The do also end in t, but I don't think that the answer is fat because of the clue)
    If you got me right I am nowhere near you- Right !

    Nowhere near is far.

    I hope the OP comes back to tell us if it's right. :)

    You are born.. your life is sad and happy and when you die you're at rest.
    Unless you rust... I don't know I think it's death... Now I'm confused Alty:eek:

    Kit, it's the question at the end of the riddle that doesn't work with death.

    If you got me right I am nowhere near you- Right
    If you're nowhere near someone, where are you? You're "far".

    My beginning is in First and not in Last. (the beginning of first is F. Last does not begin with F. So the beginning of the word is F).
    My Middle is in Sad and in Happy (The middle of sad and happy is "a" therefore the second letter of the word is "a")
    My ending is Rust as well as in Rest. (this is where it could be either far or fat, because the rest of the riddle states where to find the letter in the word and where to place the letter. If we go by that, the ending of Rust and Rest is T, so the answer would be fat. But Rust and Rest both begin with the same letter, "r".)

    If you got me right I am nowhere near you (this is the part that makes me think it's far. If someone is nowhere near you, they're far away from you).

    I'm sticking with far. :)

    I hope the OP comes back and tells us the answer.

    Yeah, I thought about fast but went with far because of the last line to the riddle. Please, how does fast tie into it?

    From OP.
    My ending is Rust as well as in Rest.

    The ending on both words that is common is ST

    That is where F A ST comes from.
