Is that fair?

      Ever since I was a child I have heard, or spoken, the statement "That's not fair!". It was only recently that I realized that this is subject to opinion. One problem we share is that everyone has an opinion and very few line up together. How can anything be determined as fair? A poor person feels its unfair that someone else has more then they do and yet a wealthy person feels its unfair to have to give money away to others (in the form of taxes, wages.. ect). So who is right? The truth is there is no guideline or rule of law anywhere that defines this concept. Politics and Religions do their best to define but even they come short.

    My suggestion would be to just let it go. If you can conceive of a concept like fairness then you can just as easily conceive of ways to feel better. It seems that money is mainly the source of fairness, but not the only, I have always said that there are only two ways to get wealthy, you can either earn more money or just want less. Lets face it, even the definition of wealthy can be subjective so if you own everything you want that would make you a wealthy person indeed.
