do you rationalize your subsequent actions and thought from the viewpoint of fairness, e.g. "Hey, that wasn't fair! That's not right!"?
Isn't it odd how we so easily manipulate arguments to support our own desires, even when we appear as hypocrites?

Oh! The Humanity....thanks for your thoughts!
I am very glad God is unfair...because - your right - God sent Jesus to live a sinless life and be crucified for us all...pretty unfair. Love is more important than fairness, and God loves us alot. -- not the sin.

Yeah...I can be a hypocrite...but, again, nobody (including God) ever said that life is supposed to be fair. Just: yes; Fair:no.
I figure that if the Son of God (Jesus) could be harassed and eventually crucified, talk about being unfair...I can't complain about anything.

There was never a promise that life would be fair. Fairness is a relative thing anyway. What you might think of as unfair, another there with you might think just the opposite and think it was just. Roll with the punches and mark the things that happen to you as a learning process, both good and bad. We all go through them. Many people make their own luck including bad... God loves you no matter what.

Actually, I tend to think that part of maturity is in being able to recognize chance. Life does not treat one unfairly, nor does it treat one fairly. Life simply happens. If we treat others with kindness, we are a bit more likely to be treated kindly by them. If we are fair in our finances, we will likely not have to worry about such things as reposessions and lawsuits and bankruptcy.
Still, disease and accident happen. These cannot usually be predicted (after accounting for things such as overeating and smoking). If we believe that someone or something "has it out for us" and we start getting angry, we are basically tipping windmills.
I think that there is both order and randomness in the universe. We affect the order, and perhaps some deity "orders the randomness". Who knows?

Yes, life is unfair. I think this is one reason why I like Christianity because it doesn't ignore the disadvantaged, in fact it makes it an obligation to support them.
I do believe God's judgement is fair though.

Life is truly fair to fair people.
I love and respect you regardless of any attitude you may adopt.
If I cannot do this, I am a hypocrite.
If I say against this, I am a bigger hypocrite. If I say it is right to hate you, what is the use of my learning in this life?

I haven't really noticed. I try to view situations from all viewpoints, but I know I am probably more biased in my favor. This is something I may need to look into.

dude...that last sentence...THAT is life, ppl will find the things in life that support them and they use it to assure themselves that theyre right because no one likes to eat that humble pie...it takes a pair to swallow your pride and admit to being wrong or even just seeing things with unbiased eyes
