If you're waiting for life to appear fair, you are going to be sitting there for a while. Is it fair that you can see a computer screen and kids are born blind? Nothing is fair and everything is arbitrary. Get used.

You can just answer it's unfair without your presuppose assertion.

Should nobody enjoy life ever until every single everything can enjoy life equally?

Besides, how are we defining "good life"? Are we talking wealth? That's very relative. I'm lower-middle-class and out of work, relying on my Mom until I can get some kind of income for myself. Hardly poverty, but certainly not extravagant.

One of my friends is poor and from a poor family. Another friend is more well-off, but nobody's above the level of middle-class in my social circle.

Is this fair? I wouldn't know, and frankly I think the question is distracting from the real issues. Me wondering about whether my lot in life is fair, or complaining that it isn't, won't get me any further towards making my life, and the lives of others, better in any way I can.

Also, how are we defining "wasting life"? I'm willing to bet the two of us think of very different things by that phrase.

Are not your post is responding to me?

Are the "you" you used in that post is refering to other people? Get used? To who?

No, they should focus to improve their life, when they have the ability they can help others if they're willing to.

Good life, i means the people is content with what he have and live a positive life with a positive mind.

Wasting life, i means the people is unsatisfy with his life and live a negative life with a negative mind although he've the ability to live a good life when compare to those who don't have the ability to do so.

I guess it's not so important to focus on is it fair or not, but to focus on try one's best to achieve a good life.

You in the 'everyone on earth who isn't me and has some lingering hope that life is fair' you. Not you in the pronoun sense. Nobody understands me. It isn't fair!

Hi.........
There is nothing fair about life.
Why did you get to live, when your mother had hundreds of eggs that never got the chance of life, and your father had billions of sperm that never made it to life?
Why you? That makes you what you are.......... you are a success!
And that goes for the pauper in the gutter, begging for a breakfast, as well as the rich comfortable passers-by who guess that he'll just buy a bottle of cider with their coin........ their reason for giving him nothing.
Where there's life there can be hope.


PS. I always give the price of a breakfast to any who asks, and sod the self-righteous who want to tell me I'm wrong to give it.

Okay, then it turns out we may be of the same mind, after all.

Though it is an interesting dance: to be content with what one has in life, while simultaneously trying to improve that life.

Just be careful of what's been called the "single story".

I can't quite understand your meaning, i take it as i've misunderstand and you're not refering to me in that post.

Thanks for sharing your thought about the topic.

You know what's fair? Everyone will die.

Everything else in life, there's always a better or worser situation if you care to look in both directions.

I've done the same and been criticized for it but I will do what I feel is right.

I don't think the word "fair" has much meaning in the billion years of life on this planet. It's a race of things evolving ways to keep getting food and keep not being food.

In the modern context I certainly support personal and political means of keeping social mobility at good levels, though.

 

[Riverwolf]

What does "single story" refer to?

It refers to the subtle mindset that people in different living conditions than us live in only a single way. In the case of people less wealthy than us, that they can only be miserable. A common example is the stereotype of the "starving children in Africa": it's rooted in a good place, but it's actually not helpful to actual poor villages in poor African countries (such as the Congo) because it's easily exploited by scam artists using pictures of them to get you to "send them aid money". (The best way to catch such people is to remember that starving children, like starving adults, don't need money sent to them, they need FOOD, and there's plenty of food donation programs).

No, life isn't fair. We can sympathize with those who don't have as much as we do, but that isn't very productive. Instead, we can make one or a few people's lives a little bit better: Visiting a lonely, sick elderly person, or giving to a food bank, etc. If each person who feels fortunate would give of their time or resources, then maybe there would be a little bit less misery.
I've learned over the years to be happy with what I have, rather than complain about what I don't have. It isn't perfect, but either is anything else.

Life was never meant to be fair, you have to take it as it comes, when we divide it into labels and put expectations on those labels, we then suffer.
