The Fairness Illusion

<p><em>Why We Chase Fairness - and What It Costs Us</em></p><p>We are creatures addicted to measurement. From the moment we</p><p>learn to speak we learn to compare. Who got more? Who won?</p><p>Who's right? Fairness becomes the invisible currency of childhood</p><p>and the silent contract of adulthood. It feels moral safe and</p><p>stabilizing - but beneath it hides fear.</p><p>Fairness at its core is a longing for control. It's the mind's attempt</p><p>to make the mystery of existence manageable. When we say</p><p><em>That's not fair</em> we're really saying <em>I don't feel safe.</em> We crave</p><p>symmetry because imbalance unnerves us. Yet everything sacred</p><p>- growth grace love - is born out of imbalance.</p>
