As I got older, I began to notice that life *was* unfair -- and usually unfairly skewed to the benefit of a specific group.
And that the members of that group were mostly the ones who took the time to point out to everyone else that life was unfair.
Hmm.

This might be part of the reason why so many of us just accept the idea that life is unfair. We are taught early that there's nothing we can do about it.
But that's obviously not true or we would not have created the concept of law. Or early warning systems for natural disasters. Or vaccines and other forms of disease prevention. Or a system of firefighters who battle blazes, no matter whose house they start in. There are all kinds of things we do in human societies not to fix, because that's impossible, but to ameliorate the unfairness of life.
Be skeptical of those who want life to stay unfair. It's certainly not for your sake.
