Is the world unfair?

Question

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

Nothing in life is fair. Some people are born into poverty and others extreme wealth. Some people are born with fatal diseases that leave them in extreme pain until they die, while others are born in perfect health and have incredible coordination. Some are born with natural beauty that attracts most of the opposite sex and others are born disfigured and end up alone their whole life. Bad people can live lives of pure fortune, while good people can experience only misfortune throughout their lives.

Even in nature, a deer can be minding its own business being a herbivore and only eating plants its entire life then suddenly be mauled by a lion.

I'm no vegan by any means, but there are farms where animals are bred and kept in tight spaces where they can barely move, then killed for food. Imagine that was your life. Being held in captivity and then only taken to kill when you were deemed ready to use.

It has always been a world where the strongest survive and the weak are devoured.

Of course it is... life is not fair. Look around you. Look at the untold suffering that goes on every day all day, young children with cancer, born terribly deformed. Some born with literally EVERYTHING in their favor, and they piss it away, while others struggle to make a simple life and work their ass off to get it.

Some born with every GOOD possible physical asset to make their life good, and successful and then drink it away or die at 21 of a drug overdose!

Beautiful people, men and women that then piss their life away and others work very hard to gain very little or nothing.

Of course it's unfair. Think it through: did you do something special to deserve to be born in a family with means instead of a family living at the edge of society? How about to be born in a country where you could get an education as opposed to one where you 70%-80% of the people don't get that chance? Did you actually do something actively to deserve being born in the 21st century as a regular person rather than in the 16th, when you'd have been a serf? Did you do something in particular to deserve being born normal and not with some major disability? Well, the answer is obviously no to those questions, and they're just the icing on the cake. So the world is obviously unfair for those on the wrong side of luck.

Yes. Fairness is an ideal of perfect world that has never existed and will never exist. Personally I'm fair to people I respect and like but being fair to anyone doesn't pay off. Most people think it's a weakness and being fair isn't something I would brag with.

ADFSDF1996 · Answer

Yes but that doesn't mean you have to play fair.

There was a time when I would always play fair because I felt it was the right thing to do but once I realized that the world isn't willing to play fair in return, I said "enough is enough" and every I would encounter something that isn't fair, I find an unconventional way to overcome it.

Playing fair is like charging at a machine gun nest head on in war, when you only have a pistol.
Playing unfair is like flanking the machine gun nest, which is attacking it from behind or the sides

This brings about a new question am I not playing fair in return or am I simply making the odds more even?🤷🏻‍♂️

Nature is nature. It is all about the strongest surviving. Human or otherwise. In nature, the weak are eaten by the strong.

Is that unfair? No. It is the nature of the world.

The best option for an individual’s survival is to find a location that offers a threat level you can comfortably live with.

There are numerous ways to get help to increase your tolerance to life’s ups and downs. You just need to know where to look, accept help when offered or ask for help if no one offers.

TenderFantasy · Answer

Unfortunately it is. There are so many factors that make it unfair, particularly people's prejudices, judgements and discriminations of other people. It's sad. I hope we can get better as a society in the future. Equality CAN sometimes be achieved, but it takes time and a lot of people believing and powerful entities/groups.

Like someone said, one can be born into poverty, or born with Down Syndrome, have childhood cancer, etc. Life, they said, is a cause and effect. But at the same time, it could also be random I believe. However, observe on your own I would suggest. I've been here (on this Earth) for close to 40 years, but my observations can be biased or jaded so take this with a grain of salt.

It depends on where you're born, what environment you're born into, and how financially savvy you are, and the people you surround yourself with are.

Slavery still exists; they just don't use chains and whips anymore. They control you with money and debt. So, yes, it's unfair for a lot of people.

exitseven · Answer

Yes, it is very unfair. We can be born into poverty, get some horrible disease, get hit by a car or else we could be born a senators son and not have to worry about getting into college or getting a good job.

ZackBan · Answer

It depends on your definition of fairness. The world is definitely ruthless and unforgiving but to call it unfair would require there to be an alternative that it in fact fair

molonski2 · Answer

Fair? Probably not..

But , you won the lottery , you were born in the USA ( I assume ) , and believe me , it may not be a fair life , but its a lot better opportunity wise than virtually anywhere else in the world , and its still the same , thats a fact.

Doesn't mean all is perfect however , far from it.

normalice · Answer

At the micro level there are certainly perturbations around average chances that people can and do exploit. But over time.. I mean, think of the worst possible entitled and narcissistic scammer in existence right now. You don't have to name him. Just know there was absolutely someone exactly the same as Donald Trump 50 years ago. And now that person is dead just the same as everyone he exploited. Death is the great equalizer that makes everything and everyone equally forgotten over time.

aceleon · Answer

yes.

there is no such thing as justice or fair. everyone has their own understanding of justice and what is fair and such a subjective thing doesn't deserve to be called ''real''

reality has no equality or justice in it, there areno such things.
