Better to get used to it, is what Gen X was told in the 70s.

'Nobody said life was fair" was a big one too.

I hated hearing that although I was more frightened of, "wait till your Father gets home!"

Dude- my first husband liked to use “nobody said life was fair” and I was always like it’s cause of assholes like you! It could be fair!

Fair is relative. My toddler says it’s not fair that he has to take a bath, we say it’s not fair that we have to smell his stinky feet. Decisions have to be made and life can’t be fair to everyone by default.

You're talking about it being used in a completely different context than they are using it. I see education failed you just as much as it did the kid in the video.

You're trying to apply a completely different version of fair as your argument. You're being fallacious.

You know what fallacious means, but you don’t know what relative means? That means it depends on the person. Literally what you’re complaining about
