you cannot tell...

what is fair for you seems unfair for others.

what is fair for God seems unfair for humans.

human justice is relative...Divine justice is absolute.

just be fair yourself......

Answer 2

Life is full of power struggles. School is a power structure, so is business and to some degree realtionships with others.
What is and isn't "fair" is based on who makes the rules.
The real world is cold, but for the most part, it rewards merit. School sometimes rewards merit fairly, and sometimes it doesn't like real life.
I know how frustrating school can be when you are young, and I agree, it doesn't always adeqautely prepare you for the real world.
But like many things in life, once you have endured it you will be a better person for it later, even if you don't understand why at this time.
good Luck

In reality, there is no sentient, omnipresent, omnipotent supernatural being, supernatural entity or force....therefore all the inequities and misery of the world will always persist, some will have good things happen to them and some not, some will blame the invisible entity but objective reality wins all the time....no matter how hard some try to get that limbic brain of theirs to work...sorry

And why does bad things happen to good people all the time? When the tectonic plates crash into each other causing human calamity, they don't worry about Karma, good and bad, evil and riteousness. Life's paths are made up of randon circumstances, some predictable and some not. Most religious people will state that god has a 'bigger' plan for them and humans in general, that we can't know the 'big picture.' Most say there can't be good unless we know or experience the depths of evil.

Is it fair to have predation, disease, deformities, child rape, parasites and evil in the world? If the answer is yes, then with god(s) like that, who need them?

Answer 4

The Young world is biologically designed to prepare....From Puberity to Teenage Adolescence your mind is at full potential -equipped to understand...but with absolutely no experience in why or what it's trying to understand ; AT THE SAME TIME ....all your hormones and emotions are kickin in , and there's alot of them so there's no time for adjusting to them slowly . Basically you gotta take on the effects of a whole lot stress, only it really isn't there. Your are truly and biologically "in conflict" with yourself! Getting through this is how you are prepared for the world. It's like experiencing the World before actually seeing any of it. You'll be ok, just expect tomorrow and remember others are like you , they just grew up in a COMPLETELY different enviroment .

P.S. being fair is providing common ground till "there's full and complete understanding of anything special and unique , that would allow " exceptions." (most of which is decided after the puberity chaos when you're " better prepared!")

Answer 5

2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 5:19, 2 Timothy 2:26 - 3:5 all tell us that Satan the Devil is the ruler of this world and so how could it be fair? It reflects his personality, cruelty, misery, and his wish for death for all mankind. Only by studying the Bible do I believe we can find an answer, and a hope. World rulers do not offer us hope. Science keeps giving us more problems. What does the world look like to you?

Answer 6

You're right...Life isn't always Fair. But look what you've learned. Not sure? Well, you just learned that it is up to you to learn how to deal with the world and realize it is up to you to prepare yourself. Now that you know its not fair you won't be expecting it you won't be shattered with disappointment when life doesn't go your way. You expect it. You will be able to accomplish most of the goals you set for yourself. Having these thoughts provoked by struggle are exactly how You will overcome & be successful in life. And I don't mean successful in a monetary sense. You're on your way to great understanding. Continue to ask these questions of yourself, of life, of others. You will become wise.

Answer 7

Your beliefs are your choice though. If you want to believe that the world is fair and the fairness must abound then prepare yourself for the outcome of that belief -- a lot of frustration and anger.

If you choose to believe that life is unfair and that sometimes fairness can be accomplished and other times not, then your misery and suffering is likely to be less.

If you recognize that fairness is an artificial construction of humans and let go of that belief, your suffering vanishes.

Our suffering is related to the beliefs that we choose. Choose your suffering wisely.

Answer 8

when was school fair? my young life was comparatively fortunate but far from fair. fair is a human concept which most of the time really translates to "fair to me, never mind you". either way, the universe we live in does not seem to care about this concept of ours. life is never fair, it's just turned out better for some of us. perhaps the only fairness in our lives is if we are fair to each other. maybe the institutions of our young lives, from home to school and everything in between, was to convince us to be "fair".

i think it had a 5% success rate. maybe the rest turned into either doormats or steamrollers.

Answer 9

School is based around a child's sense of fair play. The real world is based around power and the will to survive. In school, they sincerely care about you. In the real world, they could care less.

Answer 10

Life is fair, Everyone is in control of their own destiny.
One way to get started on the right track is to adopt the Golden Rule { Do unto others as you would have them do unto you } And try and keep a good outlook on life as you only have one.

Answer 11

i'm going to initiate by potential of asserting that is a stable concept for all communities to evade gross generalizations including "why do liberals do..." simply by fact not all of us in that team does the flaws you're concerning. individually that is not a count of believing each and every thing ought to be honest, that seems socialist or communist even. to illustrate i think that there is a duty to maintain a minimum high quality of existance for each guy or woman who asks for it no count if we consider their existence form or not. that is not "fairness" purely humanitarianism. i could challenge to assert that the human beings you're speaking to who cite "fairness" are purely unable to communicate what they are fairly questioning simply by loss of journey, frustration or what have you ever. They fall returned on "fairness" simply by fact that is a generalized suitable that maximum folk have a minimum of a few theory of coming up it extra convenient to apply than yet another be conscious that could extra acurately show how they are feeling. case in point you will be able to desire to assert it is arbitrary to make blanket statements a pair of team once you fairly mean "making blanket statements a pair of team regularly shows an in depth minded physique of innovations in the direction of the area".
