Life is fair

There are rules objects function by.
We can discover and describe them.
They are reliable for prediction and action.

One gets what one provokes.
Reactions can be anticipated.
Things develop according to what they are.

One gets what one takes.
Ability and power overcome their absence.
That which works tends to persist.

  1. Getting what you take has nothing to do with fairness. One can easily take something that is not theirs:

    in the end,
    everybody does not always get what they deserve,
    and live happily ever after.

  2. If I take something,
    if I have something,
    it is mine

    What do they deserve,
    why should they be happy

  4. I still don't see all of the irony; I don't think I speak much of fairness generally.
