No offense here..
Then by the same standard, how SURE are you that life is fair to all? That all human beings in this planet Earth is equally the same? Again you've misinterpreted me. I've said it and I say it again. "Life is not the same for all of us". Some born healthy, some born with defects. Some are wealthy, some have to beg just to eat a piece of bread for the day. We've tried hard to improve our life, but some will prevail, some will be doomed. Let's not focus on the love life now (since you want to talk about life in general). After all these years, based on what I've witnessed and encounter, I strongly believes that life is not fair for all. It can't be fair. How can you say that life is fair and equal when a person next to you is healthy and well built while the other one is obese and sick? No matter how you interpret it, honestly sir, can you truly honestly say that there's any "fair" to it? That's why I've said, life is not fair for most people.
I'm not saying based on my emo-ness whatever. Life can't be fair to all. Some might be lucky, some will not. I'm not pin pointing everyday in my life. What's the point in doing that? It's just a matter of thoughts that keeps me wondering, but it doesn't make me wake up at night screaming about it. It's just a process of thinking based on experience, and I've made up my conclusion. But my conclusion simply won't make me a loser, giving up on anything or just play along with God's will. No , no, no sir I'm not. I'd love to think that I'm the one in control of my life, not by some unseen forces to pull the strings. Maybe in a word, yes I would put the blame on life but that's it. "Scapegoat" found, done, and I can carry on with my life. Surviving each day with all my might and will.
See through my eyes, learn what I've learnt, feel what I've felt, experienced what I've endured. I've been through a lot.
Still if you haven't answered my question 'Why life isn't unfair to Most?' i can still jump in and ask back 'Why life isn't unfair to Most?' that i mentioned previously.
So you think if all people in this world is rich, do you think the world is going to be Utopia? Economically speaking the rich need the poor to be called themselves rich. Its always the matter who wants and deserves more. If you're just looking at the outside picture or 'the world' that you used to mention previously, just like i say before, its easier to see why from the outside than to see why from the inside of you. Just because we have different 'life' that doesn't mean it is unfair? Like i stated b4, you don't have the power to say that. You're just narrowing your scope to rich, healthy, sick, poor and many more tangible stuffs. How about the intangible stuffs? You're just tired of carrying your own dilemma and problems....hey (whistling)..listen here, just so you know 'We are tired too carrying our problems but at least we don't whine and complain about it because as a matter of fact problems should be solved instead of waiting for miracles and other people's solutions.

In my case, (which got me thinking), I have a 14 years old brother with autisme (Google it to find out). It's really heartbreaking. Where's the "fair" in that? I don't see it. Why it has to be my brother? Why not someone else? Is he fated to be like that?
You see whats wrong with you? You rather hoping others people will get your brother dysfunctional disease, than for your brother to 'have' it. Is that what you call 'FAIR'? By hoping that your life is better than the other? Dude you're blaming for all the bad things in your life. I'm going to tell you straight forward, my life is not as easy as i thought it used to be. Every body had their own 'challenges' given to them and by God. Just because of your brothers problem that doesn't mean you should tell why others should have it instead of your brother. I'm very disheartened when you say that. You simply assumed, that all those rich and healthy people are problem free. Seriously, widen your scope of understanding your society surround you. Perhaps you will get a better judgment from what you're saying now. Just remember, if you want to make yourself to live in a better place, stop blaming and learn the meaning of acceptance. Each of us got our own unique problem. Its only the matter of who are able to be in one shoes and to understand what he or she is going through. Yeah i know autisme is for a life time, my neighbour Dennis is the same. But at least he is always happy for who is him right now and im very proud to have him as my neighbor because you know why? I don't judge. For you as a brother, what exactly can you change about him if given you had a choice? Trust me, sometimes the thing that you hate, you will miss it or the person when it or the person is gone. You will never know when that time comes. So learn to accept. I have once a very sick grandma, she passed away and only 2 months i know about it and im the last person to know it just because my mom want me to focus on my studies. Now did i blame it is unfair? No, rather than to see my beloved grandma 'sadly' passed away, i told myself to stop weeping and told myself to score well in my studies for the sake of myself and my family. The difference between you and me is that i don't blame. And i live life a 'happier' way.

Onto the bigger picture now. Why some countries are so poor, why are some so prosperous? Think.
If you ever learn economic, i suggest you do some readings before we even debate on this. If you understand the meaning of productivity, income per capita, GDP and GNP....you will get the glimpse. Besides even Japan and the United States and also China are having problems even though they are the biggest economic power in the world. Like i say, don't assume that the prosperous are 'problem-free'. There is no such thing as 'prosperous are better' because in this context you have to look in a much much much bigger scope to even debate what's the meaning of a country prosperity after all. Besides, not to even mention economic fluctuations. So, are you going to talk on that too? Trust me, it will be the chicken or egg dilemma.

A man, a REAL MAN would understand this.
I tell you what, as much a i love to see who you are right now or get to know you better, as much as i also want to tell you life is fair after all. If you say life isn't fair, it shows your negativity thinking and thus there comes the blaming from you towards the external factors such as God for example. Life is fair if you look at the bigger picture. It provides 'abundance' for the one that 'wants' it more than the other and provides 'scarcity' to the one that just go blames around for something that they can't have. In the end of the day, most of the outside matters is always controlled by what's within you. That's why there are subject called consumer behavior and heroism. Life is in the neutral stance, thus it is fair.
You say you're a Real Man? Forgive me, but i think you're a Sad Man. Because if you understand what real Man is, first he never even complains or whines about the things that he can't have but he will struggle to achieve his best. He too knows how to feel what others can feel. If you expect others to feel your shoes, then do yourself a favor, how about by starting putting yourself in our shoes. Then you know, you will have a good start. Just because we felt your shoes doesn't make you a Real Man. Like i say b4, everyone have their own guilt and problems. If you want us to sympathizes you and say you're a Real Man, well ok there you go Real Man, but trust me deep inside of you, you will never felt like a Real Man if you always start craving for 'attention'.
