Looking around at the great disparity and sufferings life may never seem fair.
But who is to really tell what is "fair". At times many just have to make the best of their lot.
But to say life is unfair is also to say the Creator is unfair ? Or perhaps their is an unknown pattern and balance that evens out all things. Sometimes sufferings open the eyes and make us understand better but still pain and agony can be too much and worst cruelty originate from another human or shall we say the Devil in us.

Life will seem fair when we are satisfied with what we have...but we are never satisfied..we compare our lives with those of others and feel they have much more than us..and then our life seems unfair...

what we dont realize is somebody could be wishing for the things we have...

its easier to say count your blessings..not many have what you have..but its not easy to do it...we all want something in life that somebody else has it...

life will seem fair if it keeps on changing its patterns.
if once you were sad, you are now happy to know that you can be cheerful. you need to also know what it is to go through pain, smiling isn't the only hing one has to do after all!
so life seems fair when we looks from a positive point of view.

I believe in Karma.. so our sufferings are closely related to what wrong we ever did. The equilibrium is maintained between good & bad and right & wrong.
As first comment mentioned, most of our sufferings come from our greed, and that starts from the very beginning of our existence, that's how creator made us. And there is a reason why has he given us brains, our sufferings depend on how we use it.

In the end each is their own reference point. You make the best out what you get.

Nice topic Summer...
This topic seems to have come from really deep thinking...that u suddenly penned it down here.

Life is full of unexpected happy/unhappy things!
Sometimes we ask some things from our creator, but we get those things in a very different way that we didn't even expect... so, i think a good judge of one's life is very rare... who knows if his/her life is fair or unfair!

I think God always wants our lives to be judged as fair...and so he also does fair things...It just depends on our perspective.
Here's something similar what a man asked n God blessed...
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life...
God said, "Rather, I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things."
I asked God to give me wisdom
God said, "Rather, I will give you problems to solve so you may become wise."
I asked God to give me strength
God said, "Rather, I will give you difficulties to make you strong."
I asked God to give me courage
God said, "Rather, I will give you danger to overcome."
I asked God to give me prosperity
God said, "Rather, I will reward you with the fruits of your labor."
I asked God to take away my pain
God said, "Rather, It is not for me to take it away, but for you to give it up."
I asked God to spare me pain...
God said, "Rather, Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and draws you closer to me."
I asked God to grant me patience
God said, "Rather, patience isn't granted, it's learned through tribulation."
I asked God to give me happiness...
God said, "Rather, I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you."
I asked God to give me favors
God said, "Rather, I will give you choices."
I asked God to make my spirit grow...
God said, "Rather, your faith will give you growth, and I will prune you to make you fruitful."
I asked God to give me love
God said, "Rather, I will send to you those in need for you to give your love to."
I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me...
God said, "Now you understand! Your love will shine through as you fulfil My Law."

AES DHAMMO SANATANO -- It is as such.

In life - nothing is fair . nothing is unfair . It is the way it is .
Talking about Karma.. i believe in Karma, however, I dont think if we do wrong to others, we'll pay for it later. NO. Karma is all about what you make out of your own life... for example - if you procastinate - HERE, your attitude towards things in life changes, yu start taking things lightly , man by nature is lethargic..and if you continue and harbour that, your gonna end up in trouble. So, when time comes...when you have to GET UP and do the work , it becomes hard for you to finish it and you might find it difficult to even complete whatever you've been postponing, maybe once you'll be out of it, but not always... i hope you get what I mean?
everyone's responsible for their own lives, nothing is fair or unfair.. you get what you do.. 😆
Talking about world... yes, there's plenty of things that make me feel sad and cry. Why is there so much poverty, why do little children have health conditions when it's their parents who havent taken enough care of them, why so many murders, why male dominated society, why diseases, why are some people are blessed with good looks and why some arent, why do couples cheat on each other, why why why... the list goes on and on and on.. it's pointless to ask such pointless questions but, I cant help but feel sad to see the world where so many unfair, ugly, irrational things are happening..
all i can do is - just watch. But, my emotions always interfere!

Yes contentment is best, but at times we see the sufferings of others and there is only so much we can do. Guess we just have to learn to accept.
