I do not believe that life is unfair. I also do not believe that life is fair. The question of fairness/unfairness comes from the mistaken beliefs about what we are entitled to out of life. My essay early last year, https://medium.com/channspirations/who-decides-what-is-fair-c252486bcad8 , contains these thoughts, and others: " The notion of life being fair or not being fair is a human-constructed binary that should disappear from the lexicon along with other contra-spiritual binaries that create irrelevant points of comparison." "Moreover, the life-is-fair vs life-is-not-fair dichotomy is particularly damaging as it leads to atheism. Many choose not to believe in higher powers because the human-constructed religious-teachings regarding fairness do not hold water and people see well-intentioned and spiritual people suffering tragic circumstances that do not correspond to religious explanations."
