Life is Unfair. Right ?


Unfairness is probably the most indispensable element in human life. We dealt with it since we were young and never seem to leave us even when we’re old. Unfairness has brought the best and worst out of most people. For some, unfairness is a stepping stone while others just have to dig deep and accept it.

Unfairness in human aspects including social life, material aspect, happiness, achievements, opportunities, etc has been drawing lines to throw people high above the clouds and leave people down to struggle. How life can be for fairness to prevail? We never know because it will never be achieve in this world. For some anime lovers would know that a fair world can be achieved in the Naruto Series. Uchiha Madara plans to project his eye on the moon and cast an illusion to earth so that dreams can take over the human life and he would be creating a new society where everything is fair. This is too good to be true but Naruto defies it. This is because the price of having a fair world would be human would lose their freedom to act as they please. Under communism, which claim that every citizens would receive equal sharing also exists. But at the end of the day, there would be someone with too much power and unfairness would also exist in the eyes of others. There is always a price for fairness and the degree of tolerance depends on individuals. Some say it is worth bargaining in exchange for ultimate fairness.

The life is like a balance beam. Sometimes you may gain high while sometimes is just not your day. If you think you deserve to earn some gain, then you felt happy for it. However, the human minds are complicated. It can produce solutions from every permutation and combination from an unanswered question. In perspective wise, people deemed you do not deserve it and see it as prejudice, sometimes, you yourself even think that what is being poured in will receive the right amount of reward and this like you standing still on the balance beam. However, do not be overjoyed just because of that gain because people tend to make mistake on a comfortable seat. Also achieving success with unorthodox means wouldn’t be happy-ing for long.

Being realistically, we will never stop succumb to the effect of prejudice and it is best to figure up a solution to negate it. One of the ways is to hold still to your religion and use what is available to channel your unpleasant feelings into a pleasant vibe. For some who have a lucky streak, the success wouldn’t stay long. I had watched Survivor for seasons and those sole survivor who never meant to win, but won the 1 million cash prize are often sidelined when the true tests come. Tina Wesson who won the Survivor Australian Outcasts was lucky to have been chosen to the final tribal council was the first to be kicked off at the Survivor All Stars. Colby Donalson, the true American Hero although lost to Tina, was given the opportunity to win the Sexist Man Award at the All Stars and also earned places in Survivor Heroes Vs Villians and All Stars. It doesn’t matter he lost to Tina, because he has earned the support from the survivor fans. Chris who miraculously won Survivor Vanuatu was never heard again, same goes to Brian from Survivor Thailand. Those who played earnestly and whole hearted are recognized. Yau-Man from Survivor Fiji, Ami from Survivor Vanuatu, Amanda from Survivor China, Stephanie from Survivor Palau earned respects although they never win.

 To share my personal experience, I felt that the other side of down can give your more insight of knowledge and experience that will never be learned by those who somehow sail smooth to success. This can be a good leverage in case you were on the down side of the balance beam. It gives you opportunity to strengthen yourself in whichever aspect and turn it into a norm so that when times came for you to shine after countless times at the down side, you would still remember the feeling of the down side and drives you to keep maintaining the top spot.
