Do you feel life is fair/has been fair to you?

Question

Discuss.

Answer 1

life itself cannot be fair or unfair - I live, life is. Fairness or unfairness towards my person is practiced by people. And which person I meet or in which circles I am born is beyond my control. A person can act/react fair or unfair, so do I. And sometimes one thinks one would be fair, but will never be able to consider every facet of a situation and so can incidentally, unknowingly act unfair towards someone. Every person will experience fairness AND unfairness in life.  

Answer 2

life is not fair at all  

Answer 3

No ,not at all, life has trespassed against me and denied me horiibly has broken my hear and deluded my dreams, robbed me of aspiration and endeavours to loot my optimism, and I have at each juncture reciprocated in kind.

Answer 4

So fair that I worry I might lose something I like.

Answer 5

life is as fair as you want it to be.  

Answer 6

I don't deserve a fair life when I think back to all the pain that I have caused others, and it makes me sick to think that I still deny it.

Answer 7

I would say, it must have been fair enough.may be we are not just fair to our selves.

If you and i have lived for this long my dear, then life is really fair to us.

All we need to do is just learn to see what life has in store for us.

Thanks for asking dear

Answer 8

Life is neither fair or unfair.  It is a matter of positional perception.  Getting what you want may seem fair and not getting it may seem unfair.  That only is a reality with in the mind and has no external existence.  This is a product of dualistic thinking.

Answer 9

a lot of people would say no about me, those les fortunate would say yes i'd say neither because fair doest  exist, it's just an opinion and the word won't function in sync with our opinions, if that makes sense

I'm

im 15

healthy

big house

have a good education

never hungry

fair amount of money

my dad died afew months aghavei hve 6 different types of anxiety disorders

i have depression

have been bullied

have been thretened

immediate family have had trouble - alcholics nervous breakdowns et etc

so you could say it cancels out, or that i could turn all the bad things into something good so that life has been fair e.g bullying has made e stronger, anxiety more aware of others feelings. at the end of the day people who say life hasnt been fair to them are generally not positive because with every bad situation comes so much wisdom etc

but for me , a realist i'd say life has no 'fair' about it and not unfair or fair, it's just what yu make it

Answer 10

In many ways life has been fair to me, in others not so much.

Life is never fair we don't get what we want or lose people through death or them ending their relationship with you and then you think "Life isn't fair at all."

Thats when I start questioning things, and analysing that which has been done and said wondering if I could have done things differently

But its life's process to throw us these things and I just think "Okay, no problem, BRING IT ON!" I've done it myself, got myself where I am today and had to carry myself through one manipulative relationship straight into another which I then realised was a lame duck via the support of a very good friend of mine.

Thats when I got my life back, a few weeks back my health seriously deterioated to the point where if something didn't happen quickly or I didn't change then things would spiral, I thought to myself "Thats not going to happen to me." and brought power to this.

Yes, I need some dental attention but the money that could be going to that is paying off debts and seeing they're almost paid off I will be able to get back into the dentists chair in a month or so.

As Nina Simone once said: "I got life."

Answer 11

i just think you get what you give.

Answer 12

I feel that my life is exactly what I make of it.

Answer 13

I agree with the first answerer that it is scary to think that the people or things dear to you can be lost. It is almost frightening to me to fully acknowledge how lucky I am or how happy life makes me.

Life is not fair, so I feel especially lucky that I feel it has been good to me. I try to appreciate and be grateful for who and what I have in my life, and also for what I don't. I try to make the most of each day, and to find beauty in all aspects of life.

I believe a lot of how we interpret our experiences is based on our outlook on life. I am optimistic, can find joy in little things, and will not allow pity for myself.

Life is beautiful.
