Without a doubt the world has been setup to favour a few people. They could either be people of a certain race, class, gender, nationality or Ideology.
If you are a very religious person, you would be tempted to think that with God in control, the world ought to be a prefect place, but it's not because man has taken over and has turned the world into its own playground - with its own set of rules.
The world is divided into 3 groups: the first group are the privileged few, who work less and have more than enough; the second group are the hard-working average people, who work hard and have just about enough to be comfortable in life; the third group of people are the poor majority, these groups of people account for more than half of the earths population, they work the hardest but barely have enough to live by. If you are reading this am sure you belong to one of these three groups.
Why is the world setup this way, is to keep the world in balance or is it to ensure that those at the top remain at the top? Honestly, I don't know the right answer, but if there is one absolute certainty it's the fact that the world is not fair; if this is not the case, then why is it that the poor work the hardest but still remain at the bottom?
For the average worker, he works and saves into his fifies or sixties if he is strong enough to do so, then he starts living off off his savings, till he is about eighty or ninety, that is if his savings don't dry out before then. In all that time he is saving, he is forced to cut his life by half, has to deprive himself of certain luxuries just so that he can avoid other luxuries. He has to save for ten or more years so he can pay for his child's tuition, or even pay off that mortgage; but the summary of his life's story is that he deprives himself of what he truly wants to attain what he needs.
For the poor, his life is a different story entirely. He doesn't need to deprive himself, because he is already depreived; in worst cases he has to forgo all his wants and some of his needs to meet a few of his needs. His life is often a sad story, as he has to watch helplessly while his children fend for themselves; he has no choice because he cannot provide for their needs and sometimes he even has to borrow from them (a loan, which never gets paid back most times).
In this rat race, the average worker and the poor man, are the rats that have to spin their wheel for the privileged man to remain comfortable in his own wheel.
If this is the rule that society is built upon, then why do you have to abide by it ? Abiding by it means that the circumstances of your birth will determine your status in life; it means you have to keep working all your life just to meet your basic needs; it means that in your next life you have to pray that you don't come back to the bottom. However, now that you are still alive it's clear that to succeed, you don't have play fair, you have to bend society's rules, because the society isn't fair.
