"Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.” - H. Jackson Brown Jr.

To be fair. What exactly is the art of fairness? What makes something fair; unfair? How is one supposed to grasp the concept of what it means to be fair, when this world is full of only unfair and unjust things? Fairness, is in itself, free from bias, dishonesty, and injustice. It should be legitimately sought and pursued. I've learned, in my very short lifetime, that nothing in this world comes easy, and most everything certainly isn't fair. But, isn't a person entitled to an adequate explanation, when a decision is made, yet left unknown to the affected party? It's instances of inequity, that could be laid to rest by a simple explanation, that rip apart friendships and ruin relationships. And it's within these instances, that a damper is put upon the current state of humanity. I hope that, with time, our generation can adhere to general morals and principles, and keep a sense of integrity. This is our world; Why taint it with hate, dishonesty, and unfairness?
