“I know Dad, but why isn’t it ever unfair in my favor?”
– Bill Watterson, “Calvin and Hobbes”
Quote 2:
“If you expect the world to be fair with you because you’re fair to them, its like asking a lion not to eat you because you don’t eat lions.”
(Unknown source)

But does it follow that because the natural world is unfair, that human society must also be unfair?
