Answer 5

Is it life that's unfair or do we just not get what we want? Because we are given free will, stuff happens. Often what seems unfair to us is very fair to someone else. No one ever said that life is fair. If it were we would all be living high and riding in big cars. There will always be people who have and those who have not. What we do with the cards we are dealt is all that matters. Great people often rise from what seems very unfair.
