How do you deal with the complete and utter unfairness of life without wanting to kill everyone in the process?

Just relax when you can and don't do what you don't want to

Fairness doesn't exist. It's an emotional concept, built by evolution, for women and children to be able to take more than they give and monitor resource levels. The prosecuting arm of fairness is envy. When someone has too much, others feel envy and attack. Because it's "not fair". If you are a man, then losing your sense of fairness is a normal part of growing up. It's also what allows you to form hierarchies, societies, and adhere to greater abstract ideas. You can do this by learning emotional control and focusing on the benefits of being unfair. For example, to be super rich, is almost always unfair. So the only way to get there is to first stop letting yourself think and feel fair. Therefor you have a motivation to strip this emotion from your mind.

>>21004848 By realizing that you're not the only one feeling this way. That thought process comes from entitlement, you think everyone deserves the same chance in life and unfortunately that's not how it works. You have your cards, you play them right and even someone that wasn't born in a cradle of gold can do something, but if you play them wrong then you're only hurting yourself and deserve your shortcomings. Some people are more attractive than others due to genetics but this doesn't mean they'll live better lives. You have to align the stars for someone to make it to adulthood and be successful, some good looking people are born and raised poorly for whatever reason and end up being no better than the average joe or end up killing themselves because they couldn't live on their own to get away from the toxic people around them. You have all kinds of people out there suffering one way or another, if you think you have it worse than everyone else you probably haven't lived long enough.

>>21005007 I disagree, fairness does exist just not the way OP is trying to describe what fairness means. If you were born ugly and I mean really hideous by any standard and culture in the world, had a horrible family, no financial resources, I'd say you were pretty screwed compared to others. That would be pretty unfair because you'd need other people out there to intervene somehow to lessen the influences setting you up for failure in the future.

>>21004848 Life ain't fair, so am I. Play by my rules, create oppurtunitys, take what I want, etc. You are responsible for your own luck in life, so be on the winner's side.
