it's not, but we percieve it that way,
because we have a self-centered view.
"why me" is more prevalent than "why not me"
keep a world view

To some people life is unfair due to what they experienced as children, teenagers, or even as adults. Everyone comes across obstacles & everything that goes on in life is unfair regardless of the obstacle. Children think that life is unfair if they don't get what they want or their way, teens think life is unfair because their parents don't understand them, and adults think life is unfair because of their job and the way they could have done things differently.

I think it really is "Unfair" to some people. But only the ones who believe it is unfair. So I guess the reason why is a Paradox. But what in Life isn't?

Because we as humans make it that way. Think about it, why is anything considered unfair. It is because you believe one solution to be fair. What if that solution isn't fair at all? You still feel that it is because that is your perception of that reality. The truth is that nothing is unfair. It may not be what you wanted it to be, but it IS what someone else wanted it to be. Thus, a situation can't be unfair and fair at the same time.

its not really unfair, actually that how its goes. it might look un balance but we all dig in a different way. We are giving things but we are also taking unconciously. It might not from the person you are expecting or any, but it will really return in some other way. We are just like robots here, we move, do things, talk etc. automatically.

on the other hand, sometimes it might look unfair because we are all different, things won't go the way it goes to others because you are not them. you have your own identity and you will be given the things that will suit for you. Am not talking about god but in reality one thing won't always react the way it is on the same stimuli you trigger.

hope this helps. nyahaha

Life is not unfair. We only feel it is when we believe that there are just some roads we do not want to go through or some burdens we cannot carry. The way we live our lives is a choice we have to make. Do we want to see it fair or unfair? It is just a matter of choice. When you deem it only natural to see it as fair, you'd also feel that way.

Remember, wherever you are now, whatever it is you are doing, you are the one who brought yourself in the here and now. Life is how we live it. :)

Because, in life, the odds are always against us. We are born into an imperfect world, with imperfect bodies, and an imperfect psyche. Because of this, we should realize that nothing in life will ever be fair. We should also know that nothing in life is permanent and that everything is always in change, so what we consider fair one day will be unfair the next day. It is better to live by this philosophy, life will never be fair and will never be a permanent condition, because of this, take nothing for granted, enjoy the roller coaster of impermanence, and know that its not life that is unfair, its everything in it.

Life is unfair because our circumstances are unfair. Our circumstances are unfair because people are unfair. People are unfair because people are basically selfish. The actions of selfish people affect others. The others then say, " Why is life unfair?"

Life isn't always unfair. It's what each of us makes of it. If we think it's unfair it's up to us to at least try and change it.

life is 'unfair' because we can't have our way all the time.
if you ever want a better outlook on life, look at what some other people have gone through.
me, i've been raped, sexually, physically, and emotionally abused, (molested by three different people, not counting the rape. abused by three different people) abandoned, neglected, kicked out of my parents house at the age of twelve, locked in a house with a maniac for 1 1/2 years, i was born 4 months premee, with two hernias, by the age of sixteen i was diagnosed with more stomach problems than a freakin' old man, i have eye problems, and, if i ever went to the psych, i'd probably be diagnosed with several personality disorders....and yet i still manage to have a positive outlook on life, because some people have been in even worse situations.
but i admit, i find it funny when 'normal' people have nervous break downs, anxeity attacks and the what not, because of stupid little things, when i could get through a rape without losing my mind completely and really, not being overly phased by it... a girl i work with recently practically went insane when the mechanism on the window of her car went out and she couldn't roll her window down. she came into work crying and telling everyone she couldnt work becaues her life was falling apart and complete crap...
...so why is life unfair? why can't i flip out about something so simple, so normal? why can't i have a panic attack over my pet goldfish dieing?
because life is life. and you can't have it your way all the time. you just have to learn to run with it. if you let every little thing tear you apart inside, you'll go insane. just let it go and move on. you can't live your life in the past. you can't spend the rest of your life fearing whats going to come around the next corner. just run with it and be grateful your life isn't too bad.

Life is like a test and if you are thinking it is unfair you are failing. It's all about making life right and dealing with it. Also dealing with the problems it brings.
