Why is the world never fair?

[songchunlai]

Because those who always rank high in percentage receive high-quality resources. This has nothing to do with the total amount of social material resources.

Because people are never contented, even when they are already at the top, they never stop and keep aiming for more until they forget that they've already become greedy. And that greediness is the reason why the world is not fair, because the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. I think there's no hope unless the world ends and we start all over again.

That is not what the OP is asking. Example of social material resources are recreational facilities, communication facilities, electricity, water supply, schools and libraries, houses and buildings, clinics and others. That why the rich are the ones that are getting the best of these things.

Shit, I can't even tell what OP is asking, much less what this thread is supposed to be about, or why he created it in the first place.  I'd ask him to elaborate on his extremely thought-lacking pair of sentences (and the title of the thread), but I don't suppose he'll be back.

Am I right, OP?  And if your point is that life isn't fair, once you get to a certain age you just know that and anyone complaining about the fact comes off as infantile.  Someone burp the baby.

OP you are being unfair if you will not elaborate what you meant.  

You are confusing us here.

First thing that came to my mind is that life is not fair in general, and I agree with that, that's why we have to accept it and live with it.

But truly, the world will not be fair because people are different in every strata both in size, mental acuity and knowledge etc. So this will give rise to different choice to life and different ways to achieve it. Achieving it is also a function of the kind of different environment available for different people. In other words, even the environment is not uniform and therefore not fair too. Thoughtfully, there is no way that the world will be fair with the nature of the environment and policies people made as rules to be able to conquer their environment. That is why you will have different kinds of governance system, culture, rules and laws, every other thing has to be different from the experiences of different people and the way they interpret or react to situations.

He wouldn’t explain..

If you checked his profile, you’d notice that it’s his habit to create a thread without much elaboration and never come back to it.  

So you might as well just move on instead of continuing to “stay confused”

Greed and power. For the world to be fair, it has to be built on morality. And that is not the case in this world. Power rules. The strong regardless of whether they are evil will rule. If a strong and good man is in power then the world enjoys. But that is not always the case.

What I think is that everyone is after their own interests and they do so by making others pay for their sins. What a world we leave in.

This is true: some rich kid born in an elite UK family, versus some kid in a poverty-ridden area, will not have the same opportunities even if life were fair to them both. In fact, even in the same jobs, two people will not be the same; life throws different things at them. At the end of the day, life is not fair, and that will cause differences to begin with.

We put an even larger gap ourselves meanwhile, because politics, bribery, and bad people all end up making the gap even bigger by doing things that they should not do.
