Do you think life is fair?

What is true about life is how other PEOPLE and CULTURE unfairly treats specific types of others. Of course, race issues are at the top of that list with physical facial attractiveness another. In my case as a short thin Caucasian male at 5'6" ~135#, all my adult life, taller men have suppressed my life in a long list of ways. And that has often been due to the very strong cultural bias of taller people. Despite such, I have excelled.

Yes, that's what bugs me more than life not being fair, is people not being fair. Life just is, but people should have a heart and compassion. Oppressing people, taking advantage of people, the powers that be/government deceiving, controlling and manipulating people, that's what what gets me upset. Mind control and manipulation, big pharma/drug companies, poisoning food etc. That's the stuff that's unfair.
 

No, I’d say it is miraculous though I don’t mean that in any religious sense. I don’t think we can expect something so unexpected to also fairly distribute every advantage. Fairness is something we’ll see to or it won’t happen. Fairness of opportunity used to be a popular idea in the US. Less so now. If human life is unfair - and it is - it is because it isn’t something we care enough about.
