Fairness

My brother posted in his FB, "is there fairness?"  I commented to him, I dont think there is fairness.  In fact, what is fairness?  Isnt it just a relativity term?  A term use for when we compare against something and is not happy with the comparison?


When God created man, he didnt create 'fairness'.  He make MAN and WOMAN completely different.  If fairness were to occur then, Eve will be complaining to God why is Adam bigger, tougher and Adam will complain why is Eve prettier, daintier.   If fairness were to occur, then both man and woman should be able to pro-create without the need of each other.  So I think God created things/people to complement each other instead of equal/fair.   


I was thinking if we were to take the word FAIRNESS, I can imagine the bum telling God, why do I have to do all the dirty job and the brain just sits up there doing all the clean job and getting all the glory! :)  But imagine without the bum, would brain be able to sit up there comfortably?  So I guess the word here is equal importance instead of fairness?


Aha, so maybe in my custody case and the so called father fight for his rights/fairness, the law and men should step back and see their 'equal importance' in a child rearing situation rather than fighting for rights/fairness.  Women are made to nurture and care so leave that to the mother of the child.  Do not fight for equality/fairness by wanting to take the child away from the mother.  Instead do your duty as a father/man and provide for the child's welfare and education.  Then the child will grow up understanding the importance of A FATHER and A MOTHER even if they are not together.  But the law and disgruntled father movement has resulted in a confusion with the role resulting in the current and future generation to behave the way they are because of the confusion with their respective roles and responsibility.  


There is no longer a distinct difference between man/woman now because of all the equality/fairness/rights movement.   It is really sad.   If only we can accept our own uniqueness and then maybe the word FAIRNESS and UNFAIRNESS will no longer be in our vocabulary.  Also if people can be happy for others, fairness is also achieved.  If the rich can be happy to see their poorer counterpart getting rich instead of thinking that it is unfair how he/she could be rich. If MAN can accept their role and responsibility as different to a WOMAN and vice versa, then there is less need for comparison.  If not, unfairness will always be there FOREVER.
