life isn't fair.

I hate the saying "life isn't fair". It isn't fair, so why constantly reiterate it. Everything I have earned in my life, I have worked my ass off for. Nothing has ever come easy to me. I've struggled with all aspects of my life, often scrapping by, barely just making any of the final cut offs. Personally, I feel like all my work has never paid off. It has never taken me anywhere I wanted to be. I am thankful for a lot, but have never been given any breaks. When I look around, there are just some people who get it all. They don't have to work hard, things just simply come to the them with minimal effort. I often ask "how is this fair, how do they get it all?", and i'm most often left with the answer "life isn't fair". Well who chooses what is fair? who decides who has to work hard and who doesn't? Why do I have to struggle to get what most others always seem to be given. And, i'm not ignorant, and relaize that millions have a lot less than I do, but that realization just further spraks my misunderstanding of the issue of "fairness". I'm left to believe that there is no such thing as "fairness" in the world. It just doesn't exist. You are either born with it or not perhaps, and when people say everyone gets their turn, do they really? Because I can mention a long list who get it all but have never and never will get their own. Fairness seeks only the privileged.
