How do you think of fairness? I consider it fair when I am given something while others don't. Am I evil,or selffish?

I think of fairness as not just choosing the right but doing the right think too, even if you do not want to are disagree that the recipicant(s) deserve it. Fairness is choosing and doing the morally right thing, especially in the face of adversity. Fairness is that which is right in a manner which is equal to all. Fairness is right and just.

Hello breadnandbutton, Fairness is about having the same kind of consequences, sharing and relatively something equal to every one's life. Or it could be getting what you want in an equal manner with out cheating. or maybe getting into some goal that you have achieve with out the sense of failure, betrayal and defeat.nfortunately, things happen quit differently in our reality, but don't worry, it's the natural thing in life.

I don't think there is really fairness in life,at least not in my life as far as I know. Just to get used to it:)

I think if you feel you are in a fair sututation, it must be fair. Do you feel Evil or Selfish? If not, then you miust not be. I myself, give and take, its all part of survival. I can not tmagine such a simple human act could determine ones opinion about someone else without some other things to help determine if they are evil or selfish or not.

I believe that every man for himself,especially in live or die situation. But in you mind,if someone think he or she is selfish,then he or she is selfish. Am I right?

You are not the only one who think's like that. This is human nature but you should also consider do you deserve that thing or not, if yes then it's fair.

Yeah? lots of people have the same idea as I do? That is interesting. If I consider it fair in that case, I think I do deserve the thing I get.
