Why can't it ever just be fair? The grass is always greener on the other side....
Do you think life gets more fair as you get older..?

Since not all agree with what is "Fair" you'll be hard pressed to ever find it.

Life isn't fair because your ego seeks that which it does not have and it will always be capable of seeing that which it doesn't have thus it will always seek and your perception will remain that the grass is always greener on the other side, giving you the perception that life isn't fair because if it were you would somehow be content with it.
If you would like to see just how fair life can be then maybe you should look into how unfair your ideas about life make the grass you're standing on so much less green.

Life isn't fair because it isn't a person who knows what fair is. The grass is always greener on the other side only if we are unhappy and not content with what we have got and lack the courage to find what would really make us happy. For me it is wisdom and learning and writing and painting. We need to be brave enough to do what will make us happy and not necesarily anyone else. For me it is expressing myself creatively and talking to people. I'm going to also go back to university and learn. Thats my first step.

Life is neither fair nor unfair. It just is. Humans are the only animal that tries to make life "fair." If a deer agonized all the time about whether it was fair or not to be chased by a coyote, that deer would be dinner in no time. Stop trying to make life "fair" and just take it as it comes. You'll probably find that much of it is more enjoyable than you ever realized before.

Life is what you make of it, and it all depends on how you look at life. You will get put of life what you want to get out of life, so if the grass is greener somewhere else--you are looking at your life without counting the positives. Even a person living in a cardboard box has air to breathe, a sky above, a sun and a moon. The alternative to not being alive is never as good as life itself. So count your blessings instead of sheep, and you will be happy and be able to sleep.

You are never tasked more then you can handle. No matter how bad you think you have it there is someone who has it worse. The grass is not greener on the other side, it just looks that way because it is in the sun and you are in the shade.

But is there such a thing as fair? Is the greener really greener on the other side?Are we the people we lead our peers to believe?Are we the communicator or are we just communicating?

No one ever said that life was supposed to be fair and it is a concept of a "Just World" that many people have confused in their mind - the idea that bad people will get whats coming to you and the good will too. But how many times do you see good people dying because of Cancer and disease and how many times you see bad people get put into jail to live a free life of luxury. "Fair" Nothing like it

Life is as fair or unfair as you perceive it and thus, react to it. The total randomness of life for everyone actually makes it very fair, in the broader perspective.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi
I believe this quote applies here. If you want the world to be fair, then be fair.

fair, to most seems to be perfection, because fair means plain, it means to be content and life to treat you the same. Life is not measured with such words and only points in time can ever be measured with words. Life is infinite and so you are speaking 1:6 Billion others and counting when you make that assumption.

You remember the times you lose, not the times you win; even if life was fair, you probably wouldn't notice. Next time you are stuck in traffic, remember the times you hit all green lights on your way to work. Next time your computer crashers, remember that you have the internet and a roof over your head while millions of people starve worldwide. To live in America in modern times is to have hit the world gene pool powerball. Life's not fair, it is almost certainly unfair in your favor.
