I saw that movie 2012 last night again, and it wasn't only about the natural disaster about the Earth comes to the near end, but about how unfair of human treating each other. When the disaster comes, what rights does the government people have to save themselves before all of other citizens? People pay the tax dollars to those people, they can disregard all other people's life, and they have primary rights to have their lives saved. Why is that? I bet you, in real life, they would definitely do the same. We paid all these tax dollars to make them rich; and they can only do a little for all of us. When disaster comes, they are the only priority to be saved before all other people. Don't you feel the same?

It is always fair if you think it is, and it is also truely fair for those who are fair. Sometimes we claim that it isn't fair when we are in a situation of trials, problems and hatred. I say still that it is fair despite all odds, because we all paddle our own boats towards the destiny we aspire of going.Life is a choice, it now depend on how you chose and work out on it later.

I do not agreed that life is unfair. As you could see life reflect what we think about ourselves and what we do for us and others. In this real world, people give help to victims from a disaster after the disaster has ended. Why? Because they do not want to endanger themselves. Even we as a citizen will intend to save ourselves first when disaster occur in our country. Take the tsunami incident as example. We could see from recording that people run for their lives and left others in danger. After the disaster, we heard some people miraculously survived it. If we check their history we would know that they used most of their lifetime to do good deeds. As reward for their deeds, the life give them the second chance to live. What I want to emphasize here is that if we always do good for others, life will repay the deeds multifolds in its own way. So we don't have to depend too much on an organisation or the government.

Well, we have diverse opinions. Life is unfair for others who are seemingly despair and no one values nor appreciates them. But if you think you have your family you won't be left behind. In short, life is still beautiful although challenges are always present but you know what everything that happens to you is a worth thing to treasure. If you have a pleasing attitude and personality you will conquer all the odds and misfortunes. Just hold on to your faith and never say die. Stay positive and humble for you to surpass all the hindrances that may appear along your way.

I would agree that life may not always be fair the unfortuante things is there really isn't all that much we can do to change that. I do however think that we do have a little bit more of a say as to how much we can influence where we take our lives and what we are trying to achieve or learn with them.

Life is fair sometimes, and it is unfair other times, but yes, the awful things some people do to others at times boggles the mind. How do they live with their consciences? Or perhaps they have none. People in positions of power or with great wealth and control can use it to do good or evil. Unfortunately, the ones who do evil with it ... well there are too many of them. To save sanity, it is best if we focus on what is good and spend the majority of our time with people who are good. We can also keep trying to improve things to make life more fair for all. It takes a lot of effort and people coming together, though. Karen

Wow, it is tough to achieve such thing. But what I am saying is, those people who work for government, where their power coming from, we, as people, authorize them to have those power. Without our consensual consent, they don't have such prerogative. So, they should consider the benefit of the whole, rather than for themselves in general.

Yup, thats what I think the lesson to the movie, not the end of the world thing. Only the rich people would be able to be saved when the world ends.lol.

That is also the essential concept of this movie too. Rich people, and powerful people are the one who got saved. They are more like the precious species than all of us. What a ridiculous idea. Don't you think?

hi,clorssa123.i don't think you said. It is a kind of belife that life is fair. only in this way,We can serve life with calm realization. For example ,In THE INDECLARATINO OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE THRITEEN COLONIES said "All men are created equal". We would have trusted that life is fair and no reason. It is temporarily and lopsided that life is not fair.In fact,life is fair from Perpetual and all-around of view.

Yes, I do believe cos is reality. Pollutions of any kind is everywhere. Pollutions like water, air, noise, morality, words etc. Lots of catastrophic events and rumors of wars are everywhere in the planet. Some people killing the fellow beings like Cain did. God equality in consequences that people did in the world. Both righteous and the wicked are facing the reality of dangers day by day from any spot of the planet. Be prepared and save some for your family. http://bradpetehoops.blogspot.com/ Tells some important tips of disaster preparation. Like in time of Moses. Or read Matthew chapters 24 and 25. Have a great day!

I would never depend on anyone neither the government nor any one coz i belive in myself and i am pretty sure that i can come out of that any kind of disaster.At some instance in our life every one needs to be alone and then no government would help if you had paid tax or any other stuff.so being confident helps you to par any disastrous situation rather than blaming others which wouldnt fetch you anything.gud day clorissa.

Life is fair to those foolish people but for us who really cares about the things that going on maybe life is not that fair. You're right that we pay taxes to the government but we don't get what we really deserved in the first place. For as long as we are not contented with our lives then life wouldn't be fair no matter what we do to make it just and fair.

I don't think a movie or fiction can justify the whole situation of world. It depends on your own perspective; how and which fact of the world you are visualizing. Sometime people around you compel you to think as they do and believe me psychologically you will start feeling like that. If you are worried about the injustice happening then try to explore the other side of truth and you may find a real happy and beautiful world around you. It's easy to make somebody worried but it's really difficult to make somebody happy and you can do it only when you are happy within you.

Good day! We don't really need to look that life is fair or not. For me it is alwyas fair. It is true that the government might choose to save themselves before the citizens but in the movie itself there are still people who opt to be kind-hearted and are really concerned with the people around them. We just need to look deeply into other perspectives of life to see that everythign is fair. Whatever our status in life is, there is a bigger reason for that, it just means that even if one is poor it doesnt mean life is unfair for him or her. Everything in life has its purpose, noting is fair or unfair, there is always fairness in what we do, we just need to understand how it is done.

yes you are right, sometimes life is not fair.. but not always... We people always looking at the negative or dark side of life. Why don't we try to look to positive or bright side? Everytime i heard bad news from the radio, or in the tv.. i pray for them.. Well thats the only way we can do... is to PRAY and PRAY and hoping for HIS blessing and mercy..

Life is never fair I guess. But the things that we have today is the result of what we have done yesterdays or yesteryears. The same with what we are now. What we are is a result of what we have done in our life. If we want to be successful, then we need to work hard on something that will make us successful. We don't control the circumstances that may come in our life, but surely, we can direct our life to where or what we want to become. Life is still good because God is still in control. Enjoy life and have a great day ahead.
