This is one of those questions I was thinking about this weekend. Do people think the world is a "just" place. Where if someone does well or poorly it is due to their moral character, stature, choices, things like that. Where people "get what they deserve". I'm really curious on this one, so search yourself and answer what you feel is right.

Good evening dear mylloter friend Teamrome , hmm this is for me personally a pretty fragille subject , but what the heck , what i think is that there are certain parts in the world where theres no justice at all , and people whome are having the most modelistique moral character , and even he takes the best choices given at the time in theire life , there are manny thingz that cann go against that person and deraill it from its "perfect acting = perfect life " , and where in the same country a corrupted minded character , with no sense of compassion , manages to lead a better life the the person described earlier . But me personally i am really differrent , i like to believe that i always have a choice to make , and the choices are always simple and clear , and the way i am making those choices its after my moral compass , i like to believe that its much easier to take and make bad choice , but for making the good choice you need to build a character. I hope i haven't confused you with my thoughts , and honestly ... i'm feeling just now a little bit naked for stating these thoughts on the world wide wed ( and here on mylot ). All the way , i wish you a verry great evening dear Teamrose. HosmanF

I agree that evil doers and good samaritans do not always get what "they deserve", if people getting what they deserve 100% of the time were the criteria for a "just" world then I would have answered no. I beleive in general people that do good have good returned to them, but people see this as expected and therefore do not take mental note of it, and reference only the "non-just" that they witness. For those of you who answered no and are an atheist (I just realized this word doesnt follow the i before e rule) why do you do anything that would be considered nice?

Hi, You are right. People get what they deserve. Everyone gets in his life as per his efforts. We have to do hard work, we should have determination, strength, courage and positive attitude towards towards life. We should try to get anything till the end and be happy with whatever we have.

I think it's naive to believe that the world is just. Yes, people who work hard, and who try to be good will get rewarded sometimes, but I think that for the most part, it just doesn't work that way. There are people who are in dire straits who would do anything and everything just to get what they think they deserve. And I think this messes up the world being just.
