“Nothing is fair in this world. You might as well get that straight right now.” – Sue Monk Kidd
Something that's fair to me doesn’t necessarily mean fair to you. Everyone has an internal system to decide what’s fair to themselves.
When we interact with a service or product, seeking fairness comes down to whether it meets our expectations and needs.
Maybe it only takes a few minutes to tell if this coffee shop a fair place or not, but learning the fairness of a system could take years.
When we don’t believe it’s fair anymore, seeking fairness drives our decisions on who else we align with and the places we choose to go.
Knowing what’s fair and what’s not is an important practice to connect with ourselves.
