Life could be unfair, but we always mistake our self interests for it's unfairness

Most of us have so many times told ourselves that life is unfair. This happens right from when were still young, Our parents used to take good acre of us or they used to abuse us, regardless of what happened a time came and we said some people or someone were not being fair to us.
Remember when you lost a contest to someone who never did any hard work?
Maybe someone used to bully you at school when you were still young.
Your boss chose to promote someone else instead of promoting you at work.
**It was unfair right?**
*When did this start?*
Regardless of whether  we always had a upper hand in life or not, 
Most people say life is unfair regardless of their situation compared to others.
Most people it all starts when their parents tell them, they are entitled to everything, they grow up knowing that they have to take whatever comes along. What happens when something however small doesn't come their way?

Some people have lived most of their lives in the victim mentality, they accepted and cursed the world for it's unfairness. Not like they are okay with it, they just feel they are so unfortunate.

<center>***What if life was fair***</center>
What if we all got what we wanted?
What if everyone won an Olympics medal?
What if everyone was beautiful?
*Would your life make a lot of sense?*
How could we survive in such a system? would it be even realistic?

<center>***Why do you think life is so unfair?(If it is)***</center>
**Life is a competition**
And whether we have always been told to only compete with ourselves, some rules of the universe always will apply.
From when you are graded in school through winning a job interview to competing for the chief executive position, it has always been competition.
Whether you open a business that directly competes with another business.
Even in work places,
![n-RUDE-BOSS-628x314 (1).jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519495336/mms3jzbr2nblqhru8cqn.jpg)
[source](https://s-i.huffpost.com/gen/1323908/images/n-RUDE-BOSS-628x314.jpg)
When you fail to deliver, someone else would appreciate the fairness.
Competition has led to the fastest civilization in humans, it's a positive force, we should embrace it.

<center>***Why I think the idea of unfairness comes down to your selfishness***</center>

We tend to always wan to have it all,
We always think the world owes us anything, and when we don't get it, we blame whomever is responsible.
We forget that most people have weakness, and we too have our strengths as well.
We tend to not want good things happen to other people because we think we deserve them, and when some people get even more of those good things we always do think that more would have been given to us. it's selfishness isn't it?
We think we are good by thinking that some people are unfair to us, In most cases it's our problem.
And because we think we are so special, we think the world is supposed to give us attention and attend to our needs.

<center>***What if we embraced the world's unfairness!***</center>
Some people are always going to be better than us, whether they worked hard or not.
Some people are always going to be born in richer families whether we like it or not.
Some people are always  going to look better than us however much effort we do apply or not.

Play your part:
It's always not the reason to give up.
Let's love people with their strengths as well, they might have worked hard or been lucky, whatever..We too have our strengths.
At the end being on top is only for those who can, there are many fields we can always top If we long to be toppers.
So,
Maybe life is not unfair to you, maybe you think you should own everything.  and that's the problem.

Thanks for reading.
@tesaganewton 
see you.

Hmm.... I think I agreed more with that part that says "what if we embrace the world's unfairness"
Look at it this way, what if I am one of the blessed ones and I happen to have listening hear to those whose live are pretty miserable.
People who tend to put more effort than I do yet get way less than I get . People who wish and work so hard for a particular thing yet do not get it and all I do is think about what they wanted so badly and alas I have it just at the thought of it.
People who toil so badly yet could not make ends meet and there are some who never have to work a day in their entire life yet have more than they desire.
And to your conclusion, what if I am not selfish because I don't want anything for myself but from my own position, I really see that this life is unfair because this crop of people really deserve better and they deserve more, if not for anything as a reward for their sweat and their effort.

Tell me, why do good people have to suffer and bad people enjoy?
Why do good people have to die and bad people live?
My own view is all we can do is to just embrace the world's unfairness because I have seen people who don't want to have everything, people who never wish to be rich, those who never want to be better than other or wish for everything but the only thing they wish for is to be able to have 3 daily meal and they work so hard for it yet it's as if they are looking for a needle in a load of shafts.

Yes me too, i sometimes think some people deserve more according to their hardwork. But then i realise that too am being selfish, because i think i want the world to be a certain way to fit my interests. Helping those people is the best thing, the world may not be unfair to them as we sometimes think. Thanks for passing by

Hmm... this article is one that calls for a deep reflection. 

(Some people have lived most of their lives in the victim mentality, they accepted and cursed the world for it's unfairness. Not like they are okay with it, they just feel they are so unfortunate.)

That was what touched me the most. I must confess that  was one of the people that used to think that way. I hated my life and wished I was born in another country, and of course in the house of super rich people and I would have the right curves, shape and friends.

But then, that mentality kept me stagnant. I kept wanting everything to change and I was waiting for a miracle.

Thank God for my sister who advised me and explained that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Nice one. Thank you so much

Thank God something changed, the victim mentality can ruin a one's life and always stop them from acting.
All day they think they deserve more, but still they think they are so unfortunate to deserve anything.

Very inspirational and educative text. thanks for sharing @tesaganewton. 
I would love to supplement this:

Life is what someone makes it. In other words some one reaps what he or she sows. There is also a saying that goes like what goes around comes back around. These are all powerful sayings which imply that we all have to exercise care and responsibility in our relationships with the different people.
