“The more effort you exert the less benefit you take, but the less effort you exert the more benefit you take.”
Apparently life is very much unfair. From the very first significant event of someone’s life that only a single sperm can enter the egg cell to fertilize. For the parents, it is indeed unfair that they’ve enjoyed eleven minutes (according to the novel, Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho) of pleasure but sacrifices for the rest of their lives. For the students, isn’t it fair for your parents to send you to school and give your allowances and certainly, you’ll end up in poor grades. And for a student giving not his best in his studies and yet he had received skyscraping grades because of make-up project but far high from a student who evidently excelled in his studies.
Nowadays, many actions in our lives can be considered as being unfair. As we all experienced, we cook our food for more or less than an hour but eat in less than ten minutes. We buy expensive delicacies and yet it is unhealthy to us. We buy more things for entertainment and leisure but not even give charity a help. Many countries are rich and more of their funds are being used for making weapons for their somehow absolute defense. Don’t they think that the funds for those insane matters can cure the poverty of the world? They are just making unfair out of their power and wealth, and trying to reach the omnipotence of all. How cruel they are to think that they can reach above others.
Many things considered as being unfair but unconsciously people ignored these things (if only they knew those) because of the fact of some big unfairness they are facing, that they were born in this world unequal. Ethically, we were not born equal because of our basic dignity. Some might have lost their dignity along the way, but it mustn’t or shouldn’t be lost. It is somehow our bludgeon in different events or aspects in our lives.
However, isn’t it fair for a student to arrive at the omnipotence from wrong doings? For some, “It is better to cheat than to repeat”, an irony of inanity indeed. Isn’t it fair for your beliefs – or for your superego? Or it’s just a defense mechanism of your inferiority. Perhaps, your conscience may be the arbitrator for you to be penalized. Somehow, the unfairness has the goal for itself, the motivations of being unfair and the fact of their self-satisfactions or purpose which is righteous but in an unethical way of having it.
In larger sense, making things fair is very much good and easy even though He made the world unfair. It’s just His way of getting our attention and believing in Him. Whenever we do well, the innate glow will definitely glow upon us. However, when we do evil, He will just teach us to be good. But don’t wait for Him to teach you to do good things and being fair because, somehow, His way isn’t fair also.
