Life is not fair.
If life were truly fair it would be very different.
People say "fair" but what they mean is their version of fair, what they imagine, or want, or need it to be.
If life were brutally fair we would suffer the consequences of our behavior in unfiltered justice.
Parents who spoil their children thinking that it is a form of love would actually see clearly how those same actions destroyed the lives of their children in the end.
Companies who produce inferior goods would suffer the same problems their customers do.
People who destroyed the environment by producing or using harmful things would be the first to reap the horrors of climate change.
Most of us do not realize how much leeway "fair" gives us. We squeak by doing those things we always do and think that we are the exception.
And we often are, because life is not fair.
