Red Flags in a Relationship

Why is life so cruel to some people and so kind for some?

Why isn't life fair with everyone?

No alt text provided for this image

In a universe of blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, and other people are going to get lucky; and you won't find any rhyme or reason to it, nor any justice.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at the bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good.

Nothing but blind pitiless indifference. DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is, and we dance to its music.

Everyone hears that statement from the time they're in diapers but even so, many people pretend it isn't so. Rather than accept that simple reality, they go on and on about "equality of opportunity," "equality of outcome," and "meritocracies."

But life isn't fair.

Some people are born into rich families; some aren't. Some people are born smart; some aren't. Some can get a great education; some can't. Some people have supportive friends and family; some don't.

Yes, life isn't fair, which is why you MUST be optimistic.

Pessimists pretend that life should be fair and then get upset when it isn't. When the unfairness of life smacks pessimists down, they tend to stay down.

Optimists know life is unfair but still try to make things better. When the unfairness of life knocks them down, optimists get back up on their feet and try again.

Think of it this way: you've been dealt whatever cards you've been dealt. You have two choices:

1) Complain that other people got better cards than you or

2) Concentrate on playing the cards you got as well as you possibly can.

Optimism is the only "cure" for the unfairness of life.

Do not expect others to understand your feelings. Pain is the only thing that can make people understand each other. We, the less fortunate by the lottery of life, must walk with dark hearts, full of anguish and misery, in silence until we die.

As for your question: why is life…?

There are 2 answers:

1.????In the case of the existence of a God( which is not likely the case):

He has the power and desire to put you through whatever he likes, because he is strong and no can oppose him or stop him.

2. There is no God: That is life. It is cruel and unfair. Do not expect more from a world where in order to survive you have to consume other forms of life.

Just, never expect anyone to understand, but those who share your pain.

Pain is the real and strong bond.

Thank you?….Life is not cruel to all equally, some suffer very much others not so much, this can be due to where you’re born, who you’re born too, your genetics and various random odds.

Life is harsh for everyone eventually because all die…. However, people can love, be kind, have compassion, help and support those who are in need, this is the dimension of life that humans can use to offset and combat the harsh realities, we can give love and be loved in spite or even because of the pain and suffering, and we can share our joy and happiness too!…

We are powerful beings indeed because we can transcend if we choose to love and serve.

Life is evil and unfair. It's all suffering.

Am I being negative or is this the reality?

What are some thoughts on this and why?

I think it’s not pessimism but it’s the real question. I think many people are missing the point, let’s not take your question too technically.

Do you want to add a word or two?....

Yes, in order to live we have to stay positive and look at the beauty of life, and I’m well aware of it, as well as really appreciate it but why can’t life be always beautiful and instead also full of misery?

It’s easy to say if you’re not put in desperate situations. I mean if life was not harsh, we wouldn’t have to put so much effort into staying positive and keeping ourselves alive mentally and physically.

Look at animals in the wild having to compete and fight for their lives every day, I think we’re not so much different, not so far freed from that cruel law of nature.

Aside from all the natural disasters, when bad things happened, many times we tend to blame it all on the people but not question why life has to be so hard that we’re so incompetent to be able to foresee and prevent all of those tragedies in the first place.

Your Comments……

One slip and you can get heavy consequences. Life is full of traps and its atrocities just messes with people’s minds more. Many times people are prompted to do bad just to be able to survive, to protect themselves from their fears which also stem from the fact that how scary life is to them.

Why wasn’t life designed in a way that evil and suffering don’t exist and all the living beings are all wise and kind to each other since the beginning?

Why weren’t we just born in a place like heaven?

Or like in the wild, why was it designed that some animals have to kill other animals for food, as if it was easy for them to fight against their instincts, as if it was easy to just starve and die. And I think I wouldn’t complain this much about evil and suffering if they didn’t bring so much pain to us, if we were able to control our pain.

To be honest, life just doesn’t seem to be good enough to me. It can hardly be seen as good if it’s not all good, if evil and suffering still exist or at least not at this level of brutality.

I mean how many of you would be willing to be born in this world if you’ve seen all the dark sides of it and know they can very well happen to you?

If you’re strong enough to be able to handle whatever life throws at you, then good on you, I admire you very much.

But I hope we can at least agree to some certain degree that life is objectively tough and even especially hard to some of us, hope we can somehow help each other survive and win against it.

Life is. It requires energy to be taken from a source, and used. That source is often a living being. Whether the being steals from a prime source, like photosynthesis, sulphur at a volcanic vent, or from a living being like a plant, or animal, it is hard. Evil is a definition. Hard is a definition. Those have variations. Suffering is all around. What we can do is optimize. We can try to limit the damage we do, and try to hurt a little as possible. We can become synonymous with the essential relationships of life, and create the best place we can. Yes, life is often unfair, as we would judge it, but life itself is neither fair nor unfair. Any moral judgement we make always pertains to some particular value system. It may be “only fair” that you get to eat so that you may live, but is it fair to those living organisms you eat that they must die so that you can eat them? We must be careful to not confuse our subjective evaluation of experience with the thing itself. In the same way, music is not beautiful or pleasant. In itself it is simply vibrations of the air which I may judge as great or terrible, according to how those vibrations interact with my auditory sense.
