The truth is not for those who want a fair world, because the truth will teach you just how unfair it is & will thus frustrate you.

However, it will also empower you to leverage your position to lead the best life possible, if only you can accept unfairness as natural & normal.

The cruel truth is prosperity does not lie in making things fair, but in being on the right side of unfairness.

You only tend to care about the unfairness of a thing when you do not profit from it, when it benefits you, you are typically blind or apathetic to your advantage.

In many ways in many spheres of life, there are areas in which you benefit most, and areas in which you think you have it rough. Blind to your own advantages, you resent others for theirs, forgetting that all people pay a cost in one way so they may enjoy an advantage in another.

A basic example of this is women feeling they're not as respected as men are.

Whilst this is true, they are more protected than men are.

The loss of respect incurred is the price paid to enjoy the comfort and compassion inherent to protectiveness that men simply do not know.

All things in life come with a price.

It is unreasonable to expect people to treat men & women with the same level of respect, because that would also necessitate being as protective of men as we are of women - and this violates our instincts.

Life isn't fair, or meant to be.

So in this example, women care about not getting the respect men do.

But they don't care people aren't as protective of men as they are of them - because that simply isn't their problem.

So it's only "unfair" when they're "missing out", otherwise it's a non-issue to them.

Unfairness isn't the issue, failing to appreciate your unique advantages whilst resenting others for theirs is.

This is the greatest pitfall of immodesty and immaturity - a grass is greener mentality.

Being so blind to your own advantages, that you only value other people's.

Yes, the world is unfair, but it's not unfair in the way you think it is.

It's not unfair in the sense everyone else gets it better than you do.

No.

It is unfair in the sense that you get it better than others in some ways, whilst they get it better than you in others.

Inequality is normal and healthy, as part of the natural hierarchy and variation in competence that makes up the spectrum of behaviour of our species.

You can never make everything fair, because you can't make everybody equal

Difference means unfairness, and that's inescapable.
