It is better to be fair than it is to be right. Ironically, being fair is being right. Do you agree?

i think its better to try to be right,,,,,, as fairness doesnt always involve rightness,,,,, nor is fairness easy to define,,,, and sometimes the difference is blurred,,,,, often the right thing is the fair thing,,,,,,
if you had to fire two people, its fair to fire the newest employees, its also fair to keep the hardest working ones,,,,,,, it would be right, for the company,,,,, to keep the hardest working,,,,,, and right for the employees to do the same,,,,,,,

Hi there! You answered that other question maintaning your mysterious state didn't you?
I don't agree I think being right or correct is factual where as being fair is a perspective or point of view. It's kind of like I don't need you to agree with this decision (ie it's not fair!) but I need you to understand (because it's right) ? x

if being fair is being right, then one could not be better then the other. If being fair was better then being right, then why does it feel so good to be right? someone always loses though, when being fair, and when proven wrong.

Neither concept is a fixed one. They are both fluid ideas that change with culture, time, situation, individual, etc...
If there were a universal "right" for everybody, we'd either all agree that abortion is right or that it is wrong. We don't. Therefore there is no "right" answer.

this life is not far and this life is right so being far is not right nor wrong it is just being farwhich can be right or wrong
