Do you think life is unfair no matter what roll\position you play?
Of course it is. Because life throws many curves at us every day. But much depends on our expectations. If we have high expectations, like making a million dollars right away, then we become disillusioned and disappointed when it doesn't happen. Some people on Hub Pages, for example, get upset because they don't make much money from AdSense, etc.
So the trick is to keep the expectations realistic. And also realize that many people have it worse than you do -- regardless what happens.
All life is suffering, if you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you want, you suffer, worrying that it may break, that you may lose it, that someone may steal it...
I believe that someone's life is whatever they think it is. If someone believes that their life is unfair, they are more likely to notice every tiny unfair moment. If someone believes that life is great, they will stop and appreciate all the tiny things that make life wonderful. Having appreciation for all things great and small can help someone realize that there may be a purpose to all of those unfair happenings. Perhaps challenging times are a teaching tool and in the end make us better people for having lived through them.

Is life fair? I think that life is unfair and that one's future is more or less determined by where and by whom he/she is born. Life expectancy in Somalia is I think somewhere around the age of 47. In Canada life expectancy is 78 years for men and 83 years for women. So to begin with...
