sometimes we tend to ask ourselves this question, is life fair? life is fair and it's not fair, it depends on how you view it.
There are some talks these days about what is fair and what is not. 99% of people believe that life has treated them unfairly while 1% believe that life is fair with everything it brings, well my question goes thus:
what do you mean by fair?
is life fair?
and why should life be fair?. However , I'm going to frame the answer and you'll decide the right answer.
Thinking about how you came into this world, at the first sight we have no idea or choice of how we come into this world but gradually our insight begins to open to different kinds of things which make us have choices as grow. As we have no control over the beginning of our life, we tend to have the ability to influence the outcome we attain.
Talking about what is fair and what is not fair deals with the state of our mind, the way we see things, and most often, it is always an unhealthy state of mind in your career, in business, and about life generally. At times, we might want to shift the blame of what we are facing to our parents, teachers, perhaps our society, but the truth is based on the attitude we adopt and the choice we make.
Nonetheless, haven't you heard of people overcoming their tough times? , it might be poverty, drug addiction, victimization, virtually every challenge you might think of but quote me with this: "life is filled with the example of the uneducated". In school, you'll be thought before you learn but in life, you gonna learn your lesson first.
The majority of the successful people we know are born in abject poverty but choose to overcome their Challenges by leaving the world better than they found it, instead of complaining about life being unfair. They choose to contribute to the society instead of making complaints.
However, what I'm disputing here is to regulate, legislate that fairness somehow solves the world's problems, people desire and determination can overcome most of life Challenges because authorizations don't create fairness.
It doesn't matter the circumstances you came into the world, but all that matters is what you make out from the world when you arrive by putting aside whether you are born with a silver spoon, or plastic spoon or without a spoon, all that matters is the choice you make today and that will determine where you'll be tomorrow.
Fair is not a standard to be imposed but things we need to adapt to, it restricts all under the impression of equility and equilibrium, it occurs as a rationalization or justification. You have to get used to life, and when you mess up, it is not your parents or your teacher's fault, you have to learn from your mistakes without whining about it.
This is just the little thing I have to say about life.. you'll be the one to decide if it is fair or not, and your contribution is highly welcome.
Thanks for your time.
