@everyone here: So far the majority of all your "unfair's" are trivial. What is unfair is that you are being enslaved without really knowing it. If you did, you can awake with the rest of the collective and take back common sense and rejoice that things may be fair. This is what is unfair.
Many things in life are fair and enjoyable. Sometimes, there are small setbacks for everyone...this doesn't necessarily mean that everything and everyone is completely and totally unfair...just certain aspects of our lives CAN BE unfair.
^trust me, things are not fair. You have just gotten by in the box they built for you. There is elbow room in your box I see.
How we react to life's little injustices goes a long way in defining what we're made of. We wouldn't grow as individuals if life were a perfectly level playing field- and trying to legislate that via intrusive government regulation is a recipe for a precipitous decline in the species...
^Overall to have a system in which fairness and honesty could operate from is not too much to ask either...
It may not be too much to ask for... I'll grant you that- but it is unreasonable to expect- considering the state of things and people these days. My best advice to anyone is work on not being the victim because life features shit storms, imbalance, and injustice whether we like it or not.
You did not call me this directly but believe me on this, just because I recognize VAST problems and identified evil in the world does not make me in anyway a disgruntled, mainstream-media -basement dweller, or a victimized mental stereotype! People do judge like this so I had to say it.
Part of this culture of entitlement encourages people to become victims- in order that all manner of unfairness can be inflated into crises- which power mongers will exploit- ultimately more for their own gain than in remediation of any unfairness they are making a show to rectify. To them the whole point is to glean a measure of status and the victims they are "helping" are merely being exploited.
ramble, people like you make me wonder. Was life more fair when we were warring tribes being hunted down by big cats? Society is how we've come together to be the top of the food chain. If you hate the balance so bad, you're perfectly welcome to rebel, to drop out, to find your own little spot in the Savannah...
Natural and God given "unfairness" is not what I am getting at. At all. It is the matrix woven around us made by the same blood lines who have been around for a very , very long time but again it's the course we are on isn't it ? I think you are wrapped in some of it being a believer in evolution. You are right, I'm perfectly welcome to find my on Oasis. Tell me, how are you certain I do not ? How are you certain I did not already drop out, or rebel ? You are assuming I take no action. The way you posed that question bothers me, are you judging that I have taken no action ? @stinkfoot Alex Jones comes to mind, as does the History Channel.
I am implying that the matrix you speak of is just a natural byproduct of our history -- a part of the natural order (as things've turned out); that there is no action to take, because the universe's balance will always be. All we can do is let things run their course, hope, and try to be a part of the change we want to happen. People who say similar things *shrug*
When there were natural predators for us to deal with and our time & energy was taken up by the job of survival in general we didn't have much time to cultivate the political divisions that make "peace" as it is these days such an uneasy proposition. For that matter, there were most likely no bipolar and ADHD "sufferers" for pharmaceutical giants to prey on. We didn't have time to cultivate depression nor did we have weight problems as it was the land that sustained us and not corporations that adulterate foods with low grade poisons to arrest spoilage and enhance color & flavor... inner peace was at an all time high and as a species we were healthier. Granted, we tended to die earlier but there was no worry about social security running out before we got to retirement age because life wasn't something we retired from... Life has been a series of trade-offs where the job of hunting and gathering has been cornered by entities who are paid handsomely for it- this has freed us up to become weak and whiny little bitches adept at waging wars over intangibles like political power in a world where the few exploit the many for obscene personal gain. Bear in mind that sometimes the unfairness works in your favor... it's patently unfair that your brain works better than so many others... should they seek retribution? It's unfair that we have access to a steady and reliable food supply while so many in other parts of the world go without. What's really fucked up from my perspective is that so many people who have so much going for them insist on whining about how they've been victimized by unfairness.
