this quite a tough question and it's really a thoughtful one, because as my friend would always say your answer is based on your perspective and experience.
This is one of those rhetorical questions that once in a while you pause and ask yourself what is really happening, because by natural order effort is equal productivity, but in some cases it's different, in some other ways you see others doing things effortlessly without stress born into some good homes and everything aligning perfectly well....
is life unfair?
I'll tell you what life is, and take this as a fact, every parent plays a crucial role in shaping the destiny of their children, this is very very important, because it goes so far well to determine the kind of life that child will have, for instance let's say some of our politicians who happen to be around the corridors of power had secure some very good fortunes, positions and wealth already for generations unborn, even till the tenth generations, years after them, meanwhile there is a child of a poor man who did not even inherit anything from parents, this child must struggle with everything he's got to come up and make meaning of what life is.
in this separate case scenario you see how parents plays crucial role in shaping the life-destiny of a child, the reason why 80% of the world's population suffer set backs and experience severe poverty is because this complications has been handed down from generations to generations and generations after them, the same way we have generational wealth transferred from one to another, same way we have Generational poverty handed down from generations after generations, the same struggles the same routine and in most cases these parents did not only hand down poverty but alongside debt, serious issues that could take long to figure out so before this child could figure things out struggling and trying to make sense and meaning of life, he or she is 30,
compare this to a child born into a wealthy home were wealth, fame and name is just an extra package for been born into the family
I was listening to my favorite man of God, AJS and through his teachings i discover a passage in the scriptures that says the rich and the poor appeared before the God, he is the maker of the all, it's not directly saying God make some men rich and others poor but rather God created men and then men under certain circumstances separated themselves into rich or poor based on thier choices and decisions and so if you ask me is life Fair?
I would tell you it's either fair or unfair, what ever results you get out depends on what was handed down to you.
