do you agree with me that life is unfair... while others can have all they want majority of those others have less or have nothing at all in life.... convince me that this notion is wrong..

At times it may seem like life is unfair, but I believe God gives everything to people. He gives some people more than others and it may seem like its unfair. My gf lives in the philippines, she has very little, her family is poor. they dont even have a fridge in their home, we have two at my house and I have one in my dorm room at school. I dont believe life is unfair, I believe God made life the way it is for a reason, a reason above humans can understand.

Life isn't fair and I think that we will never be happy until we have accepted that fact. I read a book by Dr Wayne Dyer titled "Your Erroneous Zones" and in it he talks about all the habits that contribute to our unhappiness. One chapter is called "The Justice Trap." Dr Dyer says,” If the world were so organized that everything had to be fair; no living creature could survive for a day. The birds would be forbidden to eat worms, and everyone's self interests would have to be served." He continues by saying that if you want to stop feeling angry and frustrated stop looking for justice in everything and he goes as far as to say that justice does not exist. I don't think the "life is unfair" notion is wrong at all and we are better off accepting that or it will make our life very sad.

it depends. some work for what they have, while others just sit on their butts and whine about what they don't have. I do agree that life is very much unfair though! In many aspects of life! People are treated differently because they don't have nothing, so they are never given the chance to prove themselves, while those with everything don't even have to prove nothing, just because they have everything people give them a chance and it seems most the time they screw up, but then they can just keep going to the next becuase they know they can always get what they want. I think it is that allow this though. To many people are judgmental and base things off of what someone looks like or what someone has or don't have. I try not to be judgmental, but I am only one person and I can't not change the thoughts of all others!

Life is only unfair because that is your perception of it. You see these others as having less, and where they may have less food, or less money, or less of the comforts of life, they may have more in other ways. They may have more love, or more spirituality, or are just going through one of life's many tests in order to prepare them for something better. I believe we all have a purpose in life, and the periods of want that everyone goes through (yes the rich have unfulfilled wants and needs to...if you think beyond money and power) are just learning experiences to make us stronger people that are able to carry our our ultimate purpose.
