Is Life Unfair?

I could hear some people who would say that Life is so unfair especially if they are in the verge of trials and problems. But life is really unfair? For me, Life became fair when I allowed Jesus to come to my heart and He promise me that all things work together for good. It may be a problems, adversities, trials, temptation and persecutions He gave me grace to continue on. How about you? You think life is unfair?

I read somewhere that, "Go so loved the world that he gave..." and gave and gave and gave and gave some more and more and more and more and then some more and continues to give and give and give - I think you get the picture. And yet, still, there are some that do not care, and even some that actually say nasty things about God. This does not seem fair to me that God gives so much and Jesus works so hard and instead of being thanked, was persecuted and still many people are act like enemies. So many people in the world suffer and have real serious problems. I have a problem paying a bill and become resentful. Shame on me.

Life can be filled with trouble and problems and certainly children yell out when stressed "It is not fair" but when I think of fair I think of justice. ..Like when a company produces a product to profit that is ruining the earth and other peoples lifes but they do not care! I say, "I will not buy your product". That to me is justice and fairness.

I think that there are some things about life that are unfair, but a lot of these things are out of our control. If you think about the amount of lives that are ruined by something that another person have done, this is an example of where you could say that life is unfair for you. However, I also think that many people spend far too much time thinking about the negative things in their life when there are countless positive things that they could be thinking about instead. If you weigh everything up, you would probably find that there were just as many (if not more) positive things as there were negative things in your life.

I guess the real answer is it depends on how you perceive it. If you are on a bad spot, you would normally think that it is unfair, people who seem to get all the luck in the world, would only think that they have everything but somehow at some point, they would feel that despite of the riches and fame, there is something missing. So i guess that it is really up to you. Our lives has its own complexity. =)

When something doesn't seem to go your way, you just think that your life is unfair. No one's life is fair, some people are rich whereas some people are poor. Some people are nice, while others are just mean. There will always be ups and downs in life and you have to learn to cope with it. Life can't always be easy, we have challenges we have to overcome in order to achieve a good life. God is always testing us and through overcoming adversities, we continue to grow stronger each day. Of course, he's up there watching us and aiding us all the way.

Life is unfair sometimes especially if you don't know how to solve some adversities in your life. But let Jesus be in the center of your life,everything is all to Jesus. Anyhow, life is like a bowl of cherries and it's balance. Since we are just human that is part of us to feel this way that life is unfair.

i don't think Life is an unfair one,each n every one in this world will be graced by god in one or another way. Some people may be lucky by having loving parents, some may be by having lots of money, some by blessed skills, and soon.Its the real fact that no one live here without any grace of the almighty. Actually with this grace ,its our duty to make our life fair... As a coin which has 2 sides, our life too had 2 sides,the happier moments and the sad moments. This'll be there in each and everyones life.Be bold and face the realities with the help of god and loving ones make our life fair.. and thats the gift of god the almighty...

I hear that from the kids when they get themselves in trouble. "That isn't fair!" And the reply is always the same. "Life isn't always fair." Life is not meant to be fair, it is meant to be a learning experience and a challenge. Not easy. What would the interest be if it was just easy?!

I don't think so because I believe in reincarnation, I believe it's very fair. Now people might be unfair.

Life is full of trials , that we have to expect. Everybody has their own share of trials , they just do come in different forms though. So , why should we say that life is unfair? Trials are there to test us, let's just ask for God's help in solving them or being strong as we go through it. When we do that, we wouldn't say, life is unfair.

People who see life as unfair because of problems and trials in life are weak and doesn't have faith in their selves and to God. On the other people who sees life as unfair by means of living or motivation and act on it are people who would excell and achiever. Life should be unfair because no one on this earth is perfect and its our duty to make life fair and perfect at every moment of our lives. Remember this, just do all your best and God will do the rest. Hope it answers your curiosity.

i do believe life is very unfair but complaining about it is not going to make it fair its just a fact of life you have to learn to live with dont get me wrong i do believe in Jesus and i am a Christian but Jesus just does not seem to help me ease my problems and unfair life so i have simply given up on begging Him for help three years ago my two maltese puppies passed away from a deadly disease both were under twelve weeks old if life were fair they would have had a fair chance of living to have a happy life but its unfair that they caught that disease and their lives were cut short

In life when the God help us then we say that there is God and he help me in my worst condition but the problem start when we think that the God will help me and he don't want to any thing and God doesn't help that person due to some reasons . At that time that person say that it is fake there is no God any where . So we just work for that thing that we wish without thinking of its result.

Life is and never was UNFAIR. It depends on how peopke see what life is. Life could be so wonderful one could ever imagine and it may become so miserable depending on how one deals with it. Everything happens for a reason, so behind life's imperfections continue living it to the fullest. Every one of us all wants happiness, no one wants pain but there cant be any rainbow without a little rain.
