There is no such thing as fair...

There is no such thing as fair.  The reason I say this is when someone says, "It isn't fair", they want to make it fair by:
A.  Taking from the haves and giving to the have nots, B.  Taking from the haves so they are also a have not or C. plain just complaining about it.    You know what--THOSE scenarios are not fair.   I will concede that there are plenty of unfair situations in the world.  WHY was Paris Hilton born to rich parents and I was not?  WHY can some women eat anything, not exercise and not gain weight?  WHY does my sister have better hair than I do?  Just kidding, those are shallow not fairs.  There are some major not fairs in the world but if it isn't fair you need to ask yourself, "What can I do to fix it without taking from the haves?"  For example, it wasn't fair that men could vote but women could not.  So the women, gained supporters and marched for their cause and got that changed so they could vote too.  The men did not have to give up their right to vote so the women could vote and both sexes did not lose the right to vote because if both can't have the right, no one will.  Don't scoff at this example--most of the time when someone complains about fairness that seems to be the solution.  "If I can't do that--you can't either."  In other situations there are lots of things that aren't fair but you can't change it so why complain about it.  If a referee makes a bad call in a game and your team loses--it's not fair BUT it is now in the past and it will not change the outcome.  We can make rules and we have instant replay but sometimes that isn't enough.  When our nieces say, "That's not fair.", our response is "Life's not fair."  and it isn't so you see, there is no such thing as fair.
