Nothing is fair!

Or is it?

Fairness can be a rather vague concept. Which is why at times it can be used to your favor.

People like to say "nothing is fair" when confronted with questions asked about a particular situation or on a difficult decision made. Obviously, this is a deflecting shield to avoid further questioning on the true rational behind that difficult or unpopular decision.

Saying and acknowledging that "nothing is fair" seems to justify whatever the decision maybe and surrender to the fact that it is not possible to make anything fair.

I beg to differ.

It is not true that "nothing is fair". It is only true to say "not everything is fair". The difference here is subtle but significant.

Obviously, some things in life are fair. So, to rebut someone who says "nothing is fair..." say this..

"no, some things are fair, not all things are fair but some things are. So it is wrong to say nothing is fair. And i think part of your responsibility as a human being on this planet is to always try to tip the scale so that there are more fair things than unfair things. And by spreading the misinformation that "nothing is fair" is not fulfilling this responsibility very well."...and end it by giving him/her a slap..and then say "its only fair that you get this."
