Nothing is more chilling, than the sudden realization that life isn't fair. Many seem entirely surprised by this fact
It's not fair
They'd scream, when things don't go their way.
Life was never meant to be fair. But we were taught as little kids that we what we get out of a task is commensurate with the effort we put in. We believed that the hardest workers were most successful and that the good guys will always win in the end.
But looking now as an adult we can easily realize that more often than not, the opposite is the truth. The hardest workers in the world (in terms of physical energy expended) are probably the construction workers on the various construction sites across the world. The good guys almost never win.
Life is not fair, expecting it to be fair is the surest path to heartbreak
I accept that nothing good comes easy in life... There is dignity in labor and its good to good. My point is, do not expect the world to fall at your feet just because you worked hardest, and wanted something the most. Life is too chaotic to be tamed like that
I don't think life was even meant to be fair, lazy ones even have the best jobs or don't even work at all but have a good life.
I don't mention that "life is not fair" anymore because, life was meant to be lived, so why do we ask if it's fair or not. Bleach your skin if it ain't fair enough.
Lol. You get!
Fair for whom? In what context? Compared with what other system? These questions are never entertained by those who complain about their lot in life. While it is true that much of life's material successes are due to whim of fate, sometimes, those who can adapt to the reality of their circumstance can make their own luck. The "life isn't fair" complainers are a by-product of humanist garbage that deluded entire segments of the human race with the lunacy of perfect utopia based upon enforcement of absolute values on this plane of existence.
Life will remain unfair as long as the fact of the inequality of human beings is reality. Those reformers who attempted to fix this reality of inequality gave the world French Terror, Stalinist Terror, Mao's Great Leap Forward, and Pol Pot's Killing Fields. Reformers are evil incarnate.
They tried to force equity and call it equality, human beings are not equal. Some are smarter, some run faster, some are business inclined, others make good employees... Equality gives people equal opportunities to reach their best self's. Equity tries force everyone to equal mediocrity
What does equal opportunity even mean? Does it signify a system's obligation to disburse "opportunities" evenly across its demographic? If "opportunity" is disbursed evenly, can such situation even be termes "opportunity"? The humanists, in their greedy grasp toward that which is beyond their station, imagine the world somehow denying them opportunities, rather than understand their lack of qualification for that which they covet. Monarchs and aristocrats did not employ peasants to ministerial positions, not because they were perpetuating "systemic injustice," but because they were utilizing their common sense to discriminate against unqualified candidates.
Even the Western equality before law has its limits. Citizens have different legal previleges compared with resident aliens, visa holders, and illegals. Nothing in life is equal other than death.
Sometimes I feel that life in not fair but only when I am disapointed.
But who knows that these are more than happy than me and you even if life is not fair to them.
You live life as it comes
Don't expect things to fall in place
Or questions to be answered when you ask
Don't expect good in return
Or favor when you desperately need one
Live life as it comes....
yh valid point
Wow what a lovely article. I keeping loving this part ( my point is, do not expect the world to fall at your feet just because you worked hardest, and wanted something the most) you got my mind pumping faster than before. Thanks for inspirational words of yours. As I add this "Life is not a bed of roses"
Hard work brings self-respect. What can be more rewarding than that? If you look at some of the viral videos slushing around the internet you'll often see people with no dignity or self-respect. But they sure put a lot of work into looking stupid.
Almost everyone are struggling to find and feel "happiness" Some of them actually found it, most don't. But where is happiness or success? Where is the criteria? As you mentioned, we'd better to understand like is unfair to feel happier. Happiness is not outside, but inside of me.
