you guys may not know this but you are all part of a group that i have names the "heves" group in my head. yes the name comes from melissa and Noël's last name. If i did not know them i would have never met you all well i may have simply met you but i wouldn't have gotten to know you as well as i do. Melissa wrote heves on my shirt the first time we went bowling so i gave the name to the group in my head. you people are all very special to me know that. at the party almeda ( did i spell that right kate? ) told me these posts are about quality not quantity i haven't been in here long enough to know if this is the kind of stuff i'm suppose to post. as i read more of these i'm sure i'll get better at it.

When life is fair, everyone who deserves it will get their second chance. So no, life is not fair. That's my opinion Judge
Thank You
You're welcome
I'm really hating life right now.

To me, fair is treating everyone the same, and since life hardly treats everyone the same, I don't think it's fair.
However, I wouldn't necessarily characterize life as unfair either. For me unfair connotes "fweh, I carnt bleef the teacher's doing that; that's soooooo infinity o's unfair *whingeywhingewhinge*", and I don't think of life like that.
"Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
Although a good quote, I don't agree with that either. Life just is, and I think people trying to characterize it as fair or unfair or other nonsense like that is just that good old human tendency of projecting and personifying.
As for examples, I'm sure people will be able to provide some that support both, which I think just further proves that life is neither fair nor unfair.
Now that I've written this, I've realized I'm not even sure what I mean by life. Existence in general? Everything? My life? What IS life?

"Do you feel that life is fair?
If so, provide examples or personal experiences supporting your answer. Is there a specific reason or concept that makes it fair?
If not, provide examples or personal experiences supporting your answer. Is there a specific reason or concept that makes it unfair? Should life be fair? Are there any ways to make it more fair?

Although of course I empathized most with Flannery, which I think is the point, à la Catcher in the Rye, where everyone sees themselves in Holden.
