snowflake psychology.
Life isn't fair. The fact that we exist is incredibly lucky and that's not fair. The fact that we're having this conversation on a computer while so much injustice rains in the world. That's not fair.
Our existence is an incredibly lucky, miraculous circumstance and we didn't deserve it, but we better enjoy it!
yeah, i was actually searching for articles going in depth how exactly life isn't fair because another friend just mentioned to me how they thinks "X isn't fair" (it was about how health insurance works in Germany)
And I responded, well, so what? Life itself isn't fair. And I already know what this person is going to write me so I wanted to prepare myself with some good articles to send, lol
Then I found this, lol

Want to add here: I don't mean with "so what?" we shouldn't try to change the situation.
I mean we should exactly do that. But don't put your own interests lower just to make something "fair". Now life is just not fair to more people than necessary, lol. And it's going to be forever like that if everyone would just accept that it's not fair.
Maybe the difference is accepting vs acknowledging something? I don't accept that it's not fair. But I acknowledge it.

I took so what as meaning that we shouldn't use the fairness of life as an excuse to not work for what we want to achieve.
