war in itself is unfair and so far love is concern it is so pure that the person who fells in it can't be unfair in any condition. so this is an untrue quote according to me.

Fairness is relative. Fairness is basically a synonym for justice and though some countries have laws that they believe are just, the citizens and possibly even the other countries may disagree with them. For example, some countries use the death penalty as a just punishment for murder or manslaughter or whatever name you choose to use to discribe the crime. It's still debated whether this is true or not. And is it really fair for countries to put the lives of so many people in danger during war, just to settle a disagreement? Well that's a matter of opinion. Whether all is fair in love and war or not depends on who you're asking.

Is all fair in war?
The argument for this is that war is an ultimate evil -- in fact war is so evil that any tactic is justified in order to bring war to an expedious end. A tactic is, according to this viewpoint, unfair only after thefac.t Indeed, the American revolution was fought and won using tactics that did not conform with the standards of the time.
Bu the argument seems very wrong. Everyone will agree that genocide is never justified as a tactic. In Sudan and Rwanda soldiers were "ordered to comit rape.' Was this a legitimate tactic? Don't we have enough standing to say that this is unfair.
A philosopher namer B.R. Brandt argues that war can be anaolgized (roughly) to a school-yard fight. There is a notion of "unfder-the-belt" and "foul play" that we have even when rules break down.

In Love, the same thing is true. Normalsocial posturing breaks down, but it doesn't mean that there are no rules. It would be wrong for instance to cheat for the sake of making a person like you more, but it might be OK to be flirty to rekindle your partner's interest.

Are you asking how it is true? If so, then all is fair in love and war because humans are conniving little masterminds of deceit and trickery. When it comes to war, it comes to fighting for your country/your people/your castle, whatever you're fighting for, it all comes down to that. Usually, someone with sense will fight to the death or go to any lengths in order to defend his/her homeland or castle or whatever it is that is threatened. As for love, the same thing can be said. If two men are after a gal, they tend to fight for her, and will go to any lengths and fight to the death (well, maybe not death...) to get the woman they love (the same can be easily applied to women). Thus being so, I think that the phrase "all is fair in love and war" is not declaring so and making it so, it's stating a fact that has already been established since the dawn of man, and thus the dawn of jealously and deceit.

love is like a war. hence goal is victory. so action is needed in both situation to achieve.success is the fair to the winner in both situation.

False if the consequence is failure. The fairness of war weighs heavily upon the genuity, the trueness of love that demands it. If Love you believe is there 'IN' you but in reality non-existent, then nothing is fair, there is no 'fair'.

Hi, Eddy,
In love, there is no limit on how you go about showing it, what you do to achieve it, how you keep it and such....
>>>>
In war, it is win at all cost, no matter what the price..
>>>
"There is no fairness in love and war".... Or maybe it meant that there are more important things than how you achieve a goal, like the ends justify the means....
>>>
Thanks, for the question!;)

My regards!
