Fairness
By Chris Munroe
Fair?
Where does fairness become relevant?
Nobody ever said life was fair.
Nasty? Sure, life’s that. Brutish? Absolutely. Short? Oh
yes, far too short. Doesn’t seem short at first, but as you live you realize
it’s shorter than any man can reasonably bear.
But fair? No. It’s unreasonable to even hope it might be.
I’ve no idea who’s been filling your head with such nonsense. Fairness…
Oh, I said life was fair? When did I say that?
Yesterday?
Oh, yeah, I vaguely recall that.
I lied.
People lie sometimes, get over it.
After all, nobody ever said life was fair.
