Why can't life be fair?

Question

Oh, I don't have issues with life or anything. You just hear people saying that life isn't fair everything. But what is stopping it from being fair? That's all I wanna know really.

Answer 1

who i am hates who i've been

Answer 2

I think it depends on how you look at two things; what is fair, and what is life? If someone believes that their time here is all there is and like everyone bleep happens then they probably think life isn't fair. BUT if you think this is a place to come to and learn, to get what joy and love you can find along the way, but also realize that in what feels like the hardest are times is usually when when you learn and grow the most. Of course it's always hard to see this at the time, and almost impossible to believe it on the worst of days. But I think if you talk to most people about things that made them learn and grow the most, often it was times that we felt that life was being very unfair to us.

So if there is a bigger picture, and we want to learn and grow, then I don't think life can be fair or we wouldn't learn much. We'd have a MUCH better time, in the short term, but not get done what I think we are here to do. So in a weird way, if life treated as as we believe is fairly, and we didn't learn what we needed to, then that is when life truly would be unfair. (that almost hurt my head but makes sense to me lol).

Answer 3

Life can't be fair because we humans all want different things at the same time.
We can observe this from childhood. If one child wants to play with a toy which is the property of another, then a showdown will be decided by the strongest child and the weak child will mutter ... not fair.
We have learned this since childhood and now repeat it like zombies.

Answer 4

It apparently ISN'T, but no reason to believe it CAN'T be. A lot depends on what you think is fair. Everyone dies, that's fair. Some people have poor parents, some wealthy. Perhaps that's unfair? The diversity of ability is largely genetic, and that enables natural selection to help the species adapt and survive. Is it fair that some die that others might live?

Answer 5

Well I hope that person who answered about the MALE BODY FLUID is a female... and well I would encourage any woman or man to try to understand something HIGHER... about love and life...

WHAT is fair? What if WE all GET in a more fair position if we do more "fair" things.... I guess we never know what is going to happen any given day... do you feel that you are here alive today and that is it? OR DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU COME BACK?(here or "there")

Answer 6

Life is unfair I agree, but the real reason is that nature is unfair. Just look at the trees and the animals around you.
A thunder hit a tree in a forest or a crocodile grab one of the animals that are crossing the river. Why? "A lucky day".

Answer 7

Nobody has ever been promised that life would be fair. Of course everybody has their own idea of how life is unfair to them. You haven't elaborated about what in your life is unfair, but we all have to deal with what we consider the unfairness in our own lives. The amount of "fairness" or lack of it in our lives is related to our choices in a lot of cases.

Answer 8

If life were fair, we wouldn't have anything to ***** about, if we didn't have anything to ***** about we'd put all the psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage counsellors, fat farms, homeless shelters, etc. out of business, but if we did that they'd have something to ***** about and so you see we need unfairness to know what fair is.

Answer 9

What makes you think that Life is not fair?

Perhaps it is.

I will relate to you a story that illustrates my point:

A poor farmer whose only worldly possession is a mare wakes up one morning to discover that the mare has gone. He runs to his parents' house and breaks the terrible news. When he's finished, they ask, "Are you sure it's bad news?"

"Of course it's bad news!" he replies, stomping angrily away.

Ten days later, his mare returns, bringing with her a magnificent stallion. The farmer runs to his parents and tells them the wonderful news.

"Are you sure it's good news?" they ask.

"Of course it's good news," he declares, leaving in a huff.

Days go by, and the farmer decides to try to break the stallion. He bridles the beast, climbs on its back and is promptly thrown to the ground and trampled. The village doctor informs him that he will be a cripple for life. When he can do so, he makes his way to his parents and tells them the dreadful news.

"Are you sure it's bad news?" they ask.

He doesn't answer, but he mutters to himself all the way home. Two weeks later, a detachment of the emperor's army arrives to draft all the able-bodied men of the village. Of course, they pass over the crippled farmer. He hobbles to his parents' house to share his joy.

"Are you sure it's good news?" they ask.

The story goes on forever, but that, young skywalker, is the point.

Answer 10

Piss off the other answerers. (whoo did i just invent a new word) no. its not fair. but dare to make it fair, for even the shortest time, and you, YOU, may be different minded.

Answer 11

So you will not know your own future. If you did good things and you were promptly rewarded for yoru good deeds, you would always do them and you would know your future. If you did bad deeds and were promptly punished for them, you would stop doing them because you would know your future. God made it this way so that we could not know our future.
