Wouldn’t It Be Much Worse If Life Were Fair

Marcus Cole:

You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, “wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?“

So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.
