Do you think life is fair?

[Sassycakes]

I was thinking about 2 of my Mom's sisters today. They were my favorite Aunts and not picky like the other 4 sisters. One lived until she was a little over 100yrs old. She was alive when her husband passed away and even when her daughter died.My other Aunt was alive and 101yrs old when her husband passed away and sadly when her only Son died at 20yrs old. That makes me believe life is not fair.

no i dont think life is fair

I think of all the bad asses living , and the kind lovely guys either living in hell, or dying

so it must either be , that the good ones that die , are wanted somewhere in heaven, and the bad asses , are being kept on this hell of a world .....just my opinion, and BTW , im not religious.........

Fairness is about how humans act towards one another. But fairness, doesn't exist in the natural world. If you're a gazelle and you outrun a lion, you may think that's "fair", but if you're a lion, trying to feed her cubs, it isn't" fair'. But nature isn't fair, or not. It just 'is'.

No, life is not fair! It would be boring if it was. You have to take it as it comes and learn to make the best of it. And of course, sometimes you get a win or a prize, that's not hard to take. But, always remember, others think it is not fair!

I was 18 when my mum died.. that wasn't fair.. My siblings were all younger.. That wasn't fair!

My mum was 39 when she died.. That wasn't fair!

When I left school and went to work 40 hours a week , my father took every penny of my wages .. that wasn't Fair!

My father was a a dangerous violent man who beat us almost daily.. that wasn't fair.

My father beat me up the day I came out of hospital with my 4 day old baby ..that wasn't fair..

My first husband didn't pay maintenance for my daughter when he went off with another woman,.. that wasn't fair..

I had to raise my daughter alone on one wage.. that wasn't fair..

My daughter had to take part-time jobs while still at school to help me pay her way through Music college.. That wasn't Fair!

Loads of things are not fair in this world... Some people get through with hardly a scratch.. and some of us get open wounds. It's the way it is....

No life is not fair at all. I agree with @charry. Maybe this world is hell and the lucky ones die young? IDK. Life can be too challenging frequently.

I hope you have their genes! Lovely ladies.
No, life is not fair most of the time. So, when it is.... rejoice.

I don't think that life is fair but I do think it's amazing.
I can't imagine anything else that would give all of the
thrills and chills that life does. Fair also means average
or mediocre but I've enjoyed my life as anything but.

I agree to rejoice when it's fair but when it isn't it makes me very sad.

 

[Gaer]

Yes. Every action or thought has results or reaction for the doer and his surroundings.

Death is not a bad thing. It's a wonderful new life for the soul.

Death is not a bad thing. It's a wonderful new life for the soul.

That sounds like a great advertising slogan but for what product, I haven’t any clue.

 

[RadishRose]

No, life is not fair.

Just my opinion, but a fair and just life wouldn't be boring, it would be delightful.

 

[Farrah Nuff]

Just my opinion, but a fair and just life wouldn't be boring, it would be delightful.

Just my opinion but with nothing to compare it to, how would one know what delight is?

 

[Murrmurr]

No, life is not fair.

Of course it isn't. And there's not much else to say, right? Try not to get pissy about it; be the guy who is fair...that's about it.

 

[Murrmurr]

I imagine a life where everything is fair.

 

[Farrah Nuff]

I imagine a life where everything is fair.

I imagine things too. Sometimes it feels like just my imagination, running away with me.

 

[Murrmurr]

I tell you, I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems.

I can imagine it that way too,

 

[Llynn]

Of course not. Why should it be?

 

[ElCastor]

Is a rainstorm that floods your basement fair? How about the nail that punctures your tire? Life is neither fair nor unfair, it just is what it is. Granted we have considerable control over the course we steer in the rocky road of life, but the twists and turns of that road are to a large extent simply a product of chance. So buckle up and get ready for a few bumps. (-8

No, life isn't fair. We can't control everything. There are always going to be people who get a leg up while others won't have the same opportunities. Bad things are going to happen to good people, it's inevitable, and there's nothing you can do about them. Some of us will have to endure or have endured a great deal of pain in our lives. It's not hard to understand why we say life is unfair. When bad things happen, all we can do is manage them as best we can.

We have expectations about the way we think things should be. The expectations might not be unreasonable, but that doesn't mean that's the way things are. Therefore, when our expectations aren't met, life is unfair.

I agree..."it just is"
Not fair is part of is ...
Gratefully so, fair is too...

 

[Nathan]

Life is not a board game, there are no rules that specifies what's "fair" or unfair. Most people of course would feel that life is much more fair if their lives were filled with more favorable events, and visa versa.
