Always looking for fairness is a horrible way to live your life.
On a bigger scale, many of the world's worst evils have come in the name of fairness and equality.
People get hung up on why the Bible doesn't directly condemn slavery.
Christians are to seek the Kingdom of God first, not focus on resenting a situation you likely had no real control over.
Does this mean that those in power won't be held accountable for treating lower classes unfairly? No. The more power someone has, the more responsibility they have to use it for good. Fighting slavery is the prerogative of those who can afford to do so, but not the slaves themselves.
Being born in America gives me advantages and privileges that many cannot imagine. That's not fair. Maybe that's not the point.
I can act as if its unfair for me to get up at night to soothe my crying baby while my husband sleeps.
What would that accomplish besides an argument, and risking the lives of drivers and my husband who needs to stay awake driving an 18 wheeled truck?
My baby, God willing, will grow up and my duties will lessen. Hubby will have to work till retirement.
Hardly fair.
