Fairness

How many times have we heard this! This is not fair!  We think fairness is our birthright! we don't want to be discriminated based on color gender age race money, we don't want reservations.
I was a sucker for fairness too.
I wanted everything to be very fair I was very fair to everything. but.... That left lot of questions unanswered. Especially related to my gender, being a woman I resented a lot of things. lot of things are NOT fair and thats the way it is. this bothered me like hell. 
A must read book is selfish gene by Richard Dawkins.
Look at nature- If you look at it from selfish gene perspective, Each gene is vying for its own survival. Its cut throat competition out there. Everything is fair in love and war and definitely survival. Its business and only business.  

I mean all this is not done consciously, it so happens due to natural selection, that only fittest genes survive. by hook or crook there is no moral police or any police only nature wild nature.
Things can get so corrupt - as we all know the cell division process meiosis. Where the double Helix is split into two... a mutation is present in rats which corrupts even this meiosis.( but its a recessive gene if not rats would be extinct by now. or I guess the gene would be extinct! :D )

 So the answer is.  the whole expectation of fairness.. thats what is wrong! the world is like this, Its not fair! so? thats they way it is. Thats it. Why the hell should the world be fair? so that its easy for u? Big deal, u are not even a dust spec in this world. 
so no fairness in this world sorry :D yeah. this makes me be at peace with myself.
