Life is not fair: get used to it (Bill Gate) Life is not fair. We've all heard it from someone at some point in our lives. Life is not fair because there is no certainty about what will happen in the future. Life rewards and punishes people dangerously. Life is like a painting drawn by an unknown painter and one of them is only a small part. Images can always deceive a person as to what their true meaning is. The lie, the appearances, the contradictions, the colors, the conformism and the people are only decorations in the overall interpretation of the picture. Life isn't fair because it doesn't approach reality in a non-painful way. If you believe otherwise, then you could be living in a bubble world or be the luckiest person on earth. If you are one of those who have said this phrase at least once in your life, then welcome to the real world. Justice as an abstract notion has been defined as the proper allocation of good attributes such as wealth, power, reward, and respect among different people. In addition to possessing these attributes, appropriate punishment must be carried out based on what one has done. As Mark Twain states, people are taught the dogmas of religion and that there is a God who gives everyone what they deserve. Religions try to proclaim that everything you do will be rewarded or punished fairly. But everyone has seen that in real life such a thing rarely happens, even though in Sunday school stories the bad boys always end up with terrible punishments. In Twain's version, however, Jim in The Story of the Little Bad Boy had a charmed life. “He stole his father's gun…and he didn't shoot three or four fingers, he hit his little sister on the temple…he came home drunk…” (22-23) and nothing bad happened to him. According to beliefs, religions try to assure children that Jim should have drowned or died horribly but instead "married, got rich, engaged in all sorts of shenanigans and knavery...and is universally respected " (23). In contrast, the good little boy, who “always obeyed his parents, no matter how absurd and unreasonable their demands; learned his book and went to Sabathh school” (48) did not prosper. Once he tried to follow the example of the good kids, he found himself with several problems.
