You can not fix life's unfairness.
I remember being very feisty when I was younger.
I believe it came from a place of sadness and disappointment. I could not do what others could, and I did not have much support at home. I felt like I was screaming into something, but no one was listening.
Younger people can be very emotional.
Consider how a young child will always scream if they do not get what they want, which is due to their limited thinking. Teenage is one of the most difficult years of life; young people want to be free, to go out, to stay late at night, to have more freedom, and to satisfy a variety of other desires.
However, as they grow older, they begin to realize that life is not what they believe it to be. There is a distinction between a teenager who pays bills and one who is fed by their parents. The former is more wild and does not fully comprehend life, whereas the latter does and behaves more maturely.
Teenagers who are very wild and those who are broken frequently exhibit various emotional shortfalls. The former is only expressing such emotions because they want to experience life in the way they want and are unable to do so.
The latter is experiencing so much toughness or hardness that it has broken and hurt them. Consider the child of a president who is constantly angry at his parents for always using chauffeur-driven limousines to transport them home from school, or for always using security details to monitor them even when they are reading at a friend's house.
They want to leave the security of their home and experience what it is like to be completely free.
Consider a teenager whose parents are abusive, fighting and quarreling in a dysfunctional family, with no access to proper education or even shelter with adequate food and care. These two types of teenagers are angry or sad for two distinct reasons. Life is indeed extremely unfair.
Some children are angry because their parents give them too much food, while others cannot bear to look at their parents because they are saddened and hurt because they do not have enough to eat. People can be sad or happy for a variety of reasons, and while this may seem counterintuitive, it is simply the human experience.
Some people will be completely satisfied if you only give them one meal per day, while others will never be satisfied even if you give them your entire lifetime's earnings.
The subjectivity of happiness or sadness is not black or white; when you delve deeply into the complexities of human existence and experience, you begin to understand the unfairness of life in reality.
When I was younger, my fiestiness stemmed from dysfunctionality, exposure to abuse, and a lack of care; I saw the children and their families and wished to emulate them. I believe that people have an inherent need to compare themselves to others. Most of the time, we compare ourselves to others not because we are dissatisfied, but because we simply want a sense of normalcy in our lives.
Even adults cannot avoid comparing themselves to one another.
Same thing
We try not to do it, but we can not always stop ourselves. Nobody wants to be different; human society values similarity, which is why when there is a difference in color, race, appearance, or financial status, it appears that the person who stands out is labeled as a black sheep. Unfortunately, we cannot avoid similarities, and even when we recognize this, people are still treated differently because they are different.
Conclusion
We can not kill or fix life's unfairness, but I believe it is one of the ingredients that will continue to provide us with experience. Somehow, I believe that once the unfairness of life is resolved, everything becomes black and white.
Everyone has a question for their creator; deep down, we have some disturbing questions that do not appear to have real-time answers. These demonstrate how life can be complex and inexplicable in some of the most perplexing ways.
Sometimes we find ways to make things even more complicated.
Consider concepts such as racism and nepotism. It is difficult to understand where humans are, so how can we expect to understand the universe when we can not even understand ourselves completely? It just goes to show that life is not meant to be completely understood; instead, just leave it and deal with the unfairness while finding ways to cope and manage it.

comparing to others is quite common, we are jelous of the normality of the others, we want to be in their shoes...
teenagers tend to be never happy no matter what, it's the rebellion time, maybe before it was easier without all the socials that spread anger and such between them, worsening the situation
Haha. I use to watch American TV shows and their teenagers are always grumpy and disrespectful. I wonder if that's how they all are, before they eventually became adults and all that. It's almost the same with every American teenager in their TV shows
Or either with dramatic love story like Dawson's creek 🤣
Life is unfair. Some people start off better than others, but I agree that we learn over time. I think we all start off somewhere as a kid, and believe that things should be better. It's more about desires and wants than anything else.
Yes, some people start of better than some others, and they'll still have to compete on the same wavelength, same capacity, same conditions
Life is complex and it's unfairness can't be fixed. Trying to fix it might even make our world so boring , lol. There is always one thing we dont have access to, that others have , in that case , comparison becomes inevitable . Everyone desires to have things under their control, like have a balanced kind of life but it doesn't always work that way...indeed we should find coping mechanism to deal with the unfairness of life
Yes, I think we all have something that others do not have and vice versa. There are those who actually have it all too, and there are some who have nothing, and there are those who are just in the middle. We all are running life's race, but there's no equality to our races, and that alone makes it even more unfair
Hmnnnn brother you've said it all with your last statement that says life is not meant to be understood. Life can never be balance no matter how hard we try because people that have is complaining of somethings they don't have, and people that don't have @ll is also complaining they should even have even if it is little. You see why life can never be understand nor balance. We just have to leave it like that and thank God for anything God gave us.
Yes, I think whatever level of what we think we have is never enough. The present situation we find ourselves always makes us want more, all the time.
Yeah... That's true
A deep and honest reflection. Life truly isn’t fair, and learning to accept that while finding ways to cope is part of growing. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Yes, thanks for the comment
You hit the nail on the head, life is unfair, always has been, always will be... At least for the foreseeable future. I do hope that humans can overcome racism and religious zealotry. Sadly throughout human history that has always been the way it has been, only recently has slavery been stamped out. I hope at some point diseases and genetic disorders might be removed before birth and maybe make the playing field a little more level. But I'm not holding my breath... We can only make the best of the world that we are born in and play the cards we are given.
Sorry to hear about your rough start, but you have persevered and made a better life for yourself. How is that new job treating you?
