I've been to the carnival; I've been to the robber's den.
I've seen judges who are just and unjust.
Can't really judge them; I've been one to make mistakes, too.
I've also seen twins eating a delicious green fruit.
I've sat down in a comfortable rocker,
and eaten a steak pink in the middle.
What a busy fellow I am, yet I don't have a worry.
I've done and seen a lot, and all from a challenge,
But what have I never seen?
Thanks for reading this puzzle! As usual, please include with your answer an explanation for each line of the riddle. (Every line in this puzzle contributes something, by the way).

You are
AIR
Each line of the riddle is a description of
one or more words that rhyme with "air."
I've been to the carnival; I've been to the robber's den.
FAIR and LAIR
I've seen judges who are just and unjust.
FAIR (again) and UNFAIR
Can't really judge them; I've been one to make mistakes, too.
ERR (from @arbitrahj)
I've also seen twins eating a delicious green fruit.
PAIR and PEAR
I've sat down in a comfortable rocker,
CHAIR
and eaten a steak pink in the middle.
RARE
What a busy fellow I am, yet I don't have a worry.
CARE (you "don't have a care")
I've done and seen a lot, and all from a challenge,
DARE
But what have I never seen?
Perhaps this one is AIR again, since it is invisible to the human eye.
Title: Stop and Take a Breath!
People breathe in air in order to calm themselves down.

Very nice! This is, of course, the correct solution. As far as the missing line, "make mistakes" is the synonym I had in mind. I think I'll let this question get a little more publicity before I give you the checkmark.
