An ode to 2020: Nothing is fair but everything is just.
We all can agree on one thing at the beginning: 2020 was a shit year. The world has been shaken to its roots, and society has changed irreversibly within the timeframe of months.
On the bright side, most of us suddenly had the time to be more with ourselves, free from the white noise, continually surrounding us in the form of broken human interactions. Consciousness, mindfulness and several other new-age hippie crap is on the rise, but in reality, they are all just one thing: We started to talk with ourselves and forgot anyone else (some liked it, some not).
Hard individualism is on the rise, which might turn humans into unresponsive puppets to peer needs.
Amid quarantines and mind-boggling loneliness, I’ve thought long on the concepts of fairness and justice. These are vague and ambiguous concepts; however, the more you consider, the more you realize they are the basis of our interactions with other human beings.
At the very base of every human interaction, our brains are wired up to search for fairness. Any concept that has been marketed in human history, religions, social schemes, corporate schemes, ideologies; they are all based on a simple lie: “Everything is else is unfair, but we are here to make it right!”.
-Your nation’s history tells you this.
-Your religion tells…
