Quote: I've always wondered why we spend so much time on drilling the "fairness" concept into our children and our society when in reality it is really just a fantasy anyway!I don't mean this in a negative way but just as a witness to life.
I think that we drill this idea of fairness into our children so that they learn how to treat people. I really think that if they learn to be fair and respect people first the rest will fall in place. They will learn through us that everyone does not veiw life nor treat life the same. Just because we are teaching our kids to be fair that is not nesscaraly saying that people are going to be fair to them. That is where that hard part of bringing up a child is. Teaching them the opposite. Teaching that they will be hurt by people in their life no matter how fair or nice they are to them. Children are so innocent and believe whatever we tell them (for the most part) they look up to us. Especially right now. They see what is going on and people do not give the children enough credit. They know somthing is wrong and are hurt by it. Unfortunately, most people believe that the kids will grow out this feeling. Unfortunately, I have been there when I was little and I still have resentment towards my father for what he did.
