Life Will NEVER Be Fair.
So get over it. Stop whining about it. Make something of yourself and stop expecting other people to take care of you. Stop being a BURDEN on others. Have some self-respect. I'm done now.

But people can be. Fair is a human concept and a good one.

It's not fair and it's not unfair. It just is. Besides, unfairness is a self-pitying concept of those who probably would not recognize or use opportunity if it bit them. They do not want the success that comes from hard work. They want succdess that is given to them by favors.

But it can be almost fair, and that's what we should aim for.

Fair is an illusion.

Definitely not fair, but life usually balances out and can be quite fun.

Reminds me of a saying, "life is a long bout of misery, punctuated by moments of extreme ecstasy", or something like that.

I would agree with Stranger. Life is unfair, and we all seem to have this inborn sense about "what is fair." I think an interesting question is where that comes from?

"fair" is kind of an abstract concept anyway. No matter what you do, someone is always getting screwed.

 Well put. Just try not to be that "someone" that is always getting screwed. That's my motto.

 I suppose so, but no. Just tired of being taxed to death and being called "mean" because I expect people to be responsible for themselves.
