Fairness

A word just struck my mind, "Fairness". I suddenly realized how important this essense is to everyone, that it links with the inner spirit of everyone. The presence or the lack of it would trigger perhaps the strongest emotion from anyone, be it in any relationship between humans: parents-childs, teachers-students, employers-employee, bilateral friendship or love. Perhaps in all the spiritual needs, fairness is the most longed for. In any circumstances, what you would want is a fair chance to play your part, to prove yourselves.

It's fairness that serves as the ultimate factor who drives Chinese malaysians to convert to Singaporeans, it's fairness that a company would eventually keep or lost its employees, it's fairness that explode many person's hatred towards US. The lack of fairness would create the non-diminshing, non-degradable hatred that a person would carry for the rest of his/her life.

Fate or luck is unfair, because it's born of randomness. Though everyone have to accept this "injustice", it's just dubious that anyone could proclaim that himself/herself don't need fairness in other aspects.

But then here comes the paradox. A person who always demands for fairness most probably would eventually turn into a person that could only see his/her fairness, ignoring others' need.

Fairness is true fairness if there is a balanced give of it to others and take of it from others. Be it, or unfair at all.

But, how fair can a person be? The world is never perfectly balanced, neither is life.
