many people say life ain't fair, but they don't look at what caused such thing for them to say that.

If people were fair (moral, reasonable, or whatever), life would be fair. We have laws against actual murder, but sadly people can commit virtual murder of others with falsehoods. People can be so cruel, lazy, and insensitive: Instead of taking responsibility for their own actions, they so often lie about others to avoid taking the heat themselves (not caring what the lifelong impact will be on that wronged individual).

Fair is the type of weather on a cloudless day. Life is just life. It can be exciting or dull or both. There is no such thing as fair as far as life goes, that's what keeps it interesting.

If we had no physical, psychological, or other differences, we would be as equal as the law says. In essence, we we're created equal, but this "creation" has to be before we have bodies, because we're not equal, not in the slightest.
Before we're even born, our bodies are subjected to different environments. Some of us are blessed with better genes than others, others of us are blessed with a better home and health care than others. It bears repeating that this is before we have any control over our own lives. From the viewpoint that we are all supposed to be equal and should all be treated equally, the fact that there are any differences at all between us on the day we're born is reason enough to say life is unfair.
Even as adults, we have next to no control over our lives. Our childhood was dominated by our much more powerful parents, peer pressure, etc., and adults are left with that legacy in terms of self-image, education, etc. Even now, almost everything we do is strongly influenced by others, and even on our own our instincts may override our judgement. So much happens to us without any ability for us to defend ourselves or get recourse. People should not be subjected to the whimsical winds of fate, nor to the sometimes cruel machinizations of society as a whole and individual people in particular. That we are nonetheless is further reason to call life unfair.
If we did nothing to deserve a fate, that fate is unfair, whether it is personally positive or negative. One's effort should exclusively determine one's rewards for them to be just. Since this ideal is never met in reality, life can be pronounced unfair.

Life is not fair because we have to many people whining and being jealous of others and what they have instead of being thankful for what they have. We all have the ability to be great in this world. Some use it and other don't and then life becomes unfair. Go figure.

Some kids are born with billionaire parents and will live a full life of luxury and never have to work a day in their life.
Some kids are born in terrible, horrible poverty with only one mom and will end up suffering a incurable disease that will essentially take their life before they hit the age 7.
Don't tell me life is fair.

well, I see that life's events go through a system. A system of (actions and reactions) or (What comes first leads to what's next).
So, life is definitely fair. If you do good, you get good, sooner or later. And vice versa.
From a religious point of view, my belief in God makes me believe that he will never cause anyone to be wronged. Why would God create a not-fair life??????

Have you ever deliberated a fact that life , actually reflecting people in general? It just shows who we we are now, giving examples not right away, just never know when. Is people fair? nope. This is not a Life makes people unfair, it is people do.

life is not fair because people are constantly making stupid mistakes and worrying about the wrong things and generally being idiots, and this affects others people who cannot control the idiotic behavior.

Life's pretty fair, all things considered. It's people who often aren't.

I think life is what you make of it. We think that bad things happen to only us, but we can't always see things in other people's lives. I think I will keep my own problems and let everyone else have theirs!
