I am a chemist and a part -time philosopher and have derived a theory.....my thesis is "life is fair, in that it is not fair"....check out what I am about to type........people always complain about how they get screwed in life even when the are trying to be model citizens, whether they get screwed financially, emotionally, physically, or what have you. But, since life is not fair, people have the tendancy to achieve a state that does not exist, it is in our nature. For example, if life was fair, the human race would not have the inspiration, motivation, willingness, or the capacity to live with fairness because it is a current state in which people live in and DO NOT have to make an effort to strive to KEEP society fair. Therefore, life would become unfair, deathly, unlivable, and lastly mundane. And the conclusion lies in the statement....."we must work towards an effort to achieve a state of fairness in order to make it fair, once we fail orlose perception of this goal fairness is..

As much as I agree whole-heartedly here, I would not suggest writing a thesis on the subject due to a concept being unoriginal. It's no different from saying that good cannot exist without evil because without evil one would have no true concept of "goodness".
If you are looking to write philosophical thesis (is this for study or for personal pleasure by the way), choose the darkest, most difficult to argue for topic and dig deep. The last philosophical argument I constructed before I completed my degree debated whether or not society had an ethical right to class paedophilia as illegal (a disturbingly difficult concept to argue against when stripped down to pure logic I might add) - ended up with 97% for that one (in an education degree to boot!).

My teacher is trying to teach us about this (philosophy), but we get confused and ignore her. I am going to ignore everything you typed underneath the main question.
Yes life is fair, in that it is not fair. And I'm pretty pissed off about it. All I want are some brownies or cookies, but no that's tooo much to ask for. See how life is and isn't fair at the same time?
Oh,
Don't think too hard, and don't make us think too hard.

Well thought of and very very true.Hardship does not discriminate, everyone gets it at varying levels at different times... its all relative. And it's up to us as individuals to find joy. So I think life is fair in that sense, it treats everyone equally.
