Why is it so hard to live fairly in this world?

[pseudoerugin]

Living for more than 2 decades made me realize that it is really hard to live by and do things peacefully, legally, and morally while being successful as well. Rejections, unrecognized wins, unnoticed efforts - they are always what disheartened people and I don't think that on the contemporary world, they are meant as lessons. It's just that world is unfair and the people are being unfair as well.

This topic touches on some parts of a personal perspective.  A marvelous work and wonder is made by doing God will. 

Therefore, behold I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. -Isaiah 29: 13-14

Your post should be a continuation of your 1st one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5540224.msg65337316#msg65337316 kinda fills in a few of the gaps...

yes the world is unfair but we shouldn’t want to commit such crimes just to be successful if you find something valuable in life other than the material things you would not find yourself thinking of doing other people injustice

when you deeply value family, friends as well as yourself you can find happiness even in this unfair world

Maybe we weren't meant to live in this world. After all, oxygen - that we all need to live - is only 21% of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is like 78%.

Watch the movie Interstellar for an explanation of all this.

The world isn't a fair ground,its more of survival for the fitness. Some people  wants to survive desperately not minding if others might get hurts in the process.As long as we are all mixed up with the good,bad and the ugly,the world will continue to be an unfair environment for living.

Well I do think it is important to do things morally right and not cheat your way through life. Theres consequences for those that think that stealing and cheating is the way to gain or have success in life.
That is not the case because today we see people that are in jail for example for money laundering stealing, and some other schemes just to name a few. For those that do these things have no morals or haven’t been taught morals.
Because when you live in honest life, you don’t have to worry about stealing or cheating people out of their money. When your honest there is no need to lie and be able to live in peace.

You need to live more than four decades to get the answer I mean that with age (should) come wisdom.
Shit happens everywhere, but you have to fight to survive -and survive without doing anything evil. You have to rely on God, not solely on your own effort.
Success is also something that evolves (as humans have a greedy nature), so it's a never-ending journey. You'll have to look on the bright side of what you have; otherwise, you'll drown in desperation.

Stubbornness was the most valuable survival trait to have in the old world.

It allowed people to survive famine, war, slavery and genocide.

Human history begins and ends with stubbornness.

However, the emergence of industrialization, science and technology merged with stubborness is a bad model for building the future.

Humans will have to evolve beyond being stubborn to maximize our technology and historical gains.

Good answer.

Hydrogen has a good answer directly above this post, as well.

When you add Hydrogen's answer to yours, you have a form of Abraham of the Old Testament. Abraham had genes that gave him intelligence mixed with almost ultimate stubbornness. That's what God liked about him. He was intelligent enough to see that God exists, just by looking at nature, but also by listening to words from Shem (Noah's son). And once he figured out this truth, he was so stubborn that he could not be changed.

The Book of Jasher - which is not part of the Bible even though the Bible refers to it twice - tells about Abraham being so stubborn that he was thrown into a fiery furnace, something like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

The craziest part (I think) is any one trying to be peaceful or legal or moral etc will be seen as foolish or stubborn and avoided in somany situations (even if not directly)
To some extent and in many affairs it has come to be the reality (unfair response to life). Doing otherwise would mean challenging the way it has been and some people have loss their life in such conditions...
Human uncontrollable quests are the driving force, causing inhuman attitude to life.

Some people even doesn't start their life equally as others when they born physically. Nothing is fair in this world

You’re not alone in feeling this. Trying to live morally and still succeed can feel like a constant uphill battle, but staying kind and true to yourself still matters more than we think.
