Where in the world did we get the idea that the world was a fair place? That somehow we all should have the same things and the same way of life. I was born to be short, fat, and somewhat intelligent. Those were the genetic traits I was given. Men who are 6 feet tall and over are considered more powerful. To be fair, should all men be the same height so we would all be looked at as having the same perceived power? Should someone with a 70 IQ score be expected to run a fortune 500 company successfully? To be fair, s/he could but it would not be successful very long.
We currently see the 'rich' as having something for nothing. But to be rich and to remain rich is the issue. People who win the lottery are rich - for a time. Most are back to broke in just a few years. So the 'rich' must be doing something that allows them to keep their money. And if they do it better than I could, they deserve what they have earned. It is fair because they can do something I can't and I am willing to pay them for that.
Get over the issue of the world being fair. It never will be. What is possible is for each individual to strive for what they want. Oh, yes, that requires hard work and a dream from you. No one can or should hand you something just so it is fair.
