And I responded, well, so what? Life itself isn't fair.
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.
