Where do people ever get this question? Whenever something "bad" happens, or things don't go quite the way we'd like them to, we dump on "Life isn't fair!" Who started that idea that life was supposed to be fair, anyway? Life simply IS. It's a game, a race, an adventure, or an imprisonment, depending on your outlook. So long as you keep comparing yourself to others, and judging your own life by what the Joneses seem to have, you'll always think life isn't fair. But what you don't see is that the Joneses have their own problems and complaints that life isn't really fair to them. From their view, life is more fair to YOU than it is to them!
But life is what we make of it. We can choose to be happy and content with what we've been given in our own lives, or we can be miserable and constantly compare ourselves to what we perceive to be "better" in someone else's life. Life is a roller coaster ride, with ups and downs, dips and turns, for all of us. Sit back, tighten your seat belt, and enjoy it for all it's worth. It'll end soon enough, and chances are, when you're finally just beginning to get the hang of it!

Hmmm. Lets see. You believe in equivalent exchange? Maybe God. Well lets see....you know theres all these lose ends here do you not....what, you just ask the question to see what other people thought? Dont be dependant. Being dependat can hurt you. You maybe believe in science. There are way too many views for me to begin arguing it with myself knowing that ill never see any comply. Oh well. Men are able to think themselves to death. Life cannot be called fair or unfair. Thats the end i sought and the one im telling you. If i decided to i could continue my own thought and change my mind. Philosophy was never about making too much sence, when it began to make too much sence it became SCIENCE. Tell me what you think, is it fair? Hmmm in equivalent exchange everything is equal. However it never specified who it was so equal to. Dont play the semanticist with me. It is not fair, it is not unfair, it just is now deal with it how you will. What an odd question my friend, what did you expect?

Well, life itself is just a state. It's the people in your life that make it unfair or fair. Which is why some people say life is and some say it isn't. It all depends on the experiences they have had.

Life is never fair, and no one promised that it would be.

Sorry to be honest, but life is never fair. Life has no respect of person. It can attack anyone.

Absolutely fair. You get to make every decision about how you want to run your life. Then you get to reap the rewards or suffer the consequences. What more could you want?

Not always. Sometimes life is very sad and unfair. And we may never know why.
