why does it seem unfair?

Question

why does it seem unfair to people that they might never understand what reality is and where the universe came from?
why do people feel they deserve to know?

Answer 1

It is almost an intrinsic human quality to feel egocentric. That's why at one point in time we lived in a geocentric universe; we needed to be IT, to be revolved around. After all, aren't we these extraordinary, intelligent creatures capable of problem solving? Capable of torturing and killing our own kind...? Capable of starting wars that cover the planet?
...yes, indeed we are one of a kind. That is why it may seem unfair to some, to those that are still playing out their animal nature to not be answered when the question of "Why am I here?" screamed out into the great Nothingness is never returned with anything but an abstract absurdity.
But that's the nature of existence, to not know. If we knew we would no longer achieve our own goals and perceptions of life. We would simply cease to be.

Answer 2

I think it seems unfair because we have the capacity to conceive of the questions, but we have no way of knowing the answers. It's almost a tease to be presented with something so complex and wonderful, and to be able to analyze it to its greatest depths, but never to be capable of learning its true nature. Why should we be given the desire to understand if we can never ultimately achieve understanding?

Answer 3

'Fair' and 'unfair' as a single concept have been of enormous assistance to human beings who've embraced them and recognized the burning need for them. Fairness/unfairness is the great leveller among human beings.

The fact that any 4 year old child can identify unfairness to himself/herself with as much validity as any adult gives the advantage of a completely unenforceable, subjective lever of blame.

Such as, the definitely unfair dearth of proof concerning where the universe came from.

Answer 4

We can't find answers of our every question without the help of religion. Religion provides us the answers of those questions which we can not get from other sources.
And if you study the arguments without any prejudice you will feel it quite logical how Islam explains it. Once you are convinced; it does not feel you unfair.
