Well in my opinion...if everything in this world are fair..dont you think it will be so boring

example

okay...do you want to see everyone have fairly beauty..i mean..all people have the same kind of beauty..doesnt that bore you??

so...what do you guys think??

Fairness in its basic means is equality in results to work used to achieve it. A fair world would be that everyone would get the rewards for their hard work. But really, humans are not ones to do hard work. Even if it was totally fair, people would still be unsatisfied and the world would still be a sad place. Humans in general are a very competitive race, make sense, Darwinism. Thus, humans always want to get the most results to their work, thus humans don't want to be fair. We want to be favored not just.

Everyone one gets what they deserve, but how can we quantify it? Do it do it on just actions or thoughts? On good intention or the greater good?

From a person's perspective, fairness isn't you reap what you sou. Rather its that they are inferior in some matter to another person and feels that they should be equal. But thats not fair. Even those who may claim that they are selfless individuals, we feel this type of "unfairness" and whine, moan, you get the picture.

Although we do strive for fairness, really if we achieved it and implemented it, no one would be happy. Because the root of the problem isn't fairness but rather our own lack of acceptance of inferiority.

It probably would, because everyone would get rewarded for the same thing, have the same beauty, drive the same car, have the same computer, have an iPod, get perfect/same grades at school, have the same amount of money. But of course, I don't believe this could ever exist.

Best post indeed.
It is not about fair anymore when everyone is equal.
Consider than first, before we go any further.

[Oh my goodness...I just lost my whole post. Here we go again...]
That's a pretty interesting post gogothee! You seem to have more wisdom than the general populace typically lets on. Not another tool, yay!

I don't think it's so much about accepting inferiority as it is about knowing your place in the world. The reason I say this is because I can do things you cannot and you can do things I cannot. I think it's beyond recognizing our inferiorities; it includes recognizing our strengths and what we can offer. After all, it is through knowing our place that we can truly begin to make a difference in life.

Fairness is somewhat of an abstraction, something we all demand but something we have a hard time understanding.
Rules in ball games that help enforce fairness are easy to understand. Why people believe or do certain things like sacrifice at their own expense is a bit more complicated and challenging.

Who says we deserve anything? Maybe we deserve nothing? Maybe we even deserve suffering. After all, suffering is what keeps us from becoming spoiled brats, tyrants without a care for our neighbor. Suffering injustice, persecution, loneliness, disappointment, and failure keep us grounded and realistic and hopefully more open-hearted.

There is little truth in not caring for others and there is great truth in self-sacrifice (Full Metal Alchemist). What does this have to do with fairness?
It might not make you a happier person by making things unfair for yourself in taking that bullet for someone you love, but it makes you a greater person because you did it for something real. Truth is real but it also what we dream about. We aim not merely for the greater good, but the greatest good!

Some people say that people are inherently selfish and fairness can never be achieved because all goods are acquired through selfish competition.
For some reason, the word "fair" is often thought of in terms of material posessions. The more money I get, the less you have and the more I give away, the less I have.
But things like love, truth, friendship and wisdom increase rather than decrease when shared and do not deprive another when I acquire them. They only grow.
Unfortunately, many people simply don't see or care about this.

An idea like self-forgetful love gets shot down repeatedly. But it is a real idea that anime series (heck, stories in general) vividly portray in the relationships between characters and their sacrifices for each other (you can think of more than a few series, I'm sure).

As you can see, I didn't really talk about "fairness" much because I was too busy talking about the futility of fairness as it is popularly thought of today. The greatest good? Equality in the sense of equal work, sacrifice, or possessions isn't really it because love has been sitting pretty since the beginning.

Take a look at the family! What does a mother really get out of raising her child?
Mere satisfaction of seeing him/her "succeed" in life? Or is it that she desires for him/her the greatest good? The greatest good that can only be taught through living it...

Tell me what you think!

I think we should worry about this problem if humanity ever has the opportunity to confront it (it won't).
