To Infinity...And Beyond?


To Infinity...And beyond!!Don't ask me how, ask the guy in the green & white suit up there.

It's past 2 in the morning, and I can't sleep.My friend got me thinking(Yes, they have warned me about that), and I got a 'sugar rush'.It was something like how 'fair' the world is.
Try walking through the corridor up there. Yes, its a reflection of two mirrors. The journey never ends. That is what the world would be like if it was 'fair'. A never ending cycle of self-repetition. We would be like robots, only knowing what we were told to do, slaves of tradition and norms.I don't know why, but every time I look at this picture, "I am my own grandfather" pops into my head. Abraham Lincoln was born in a poor family, which means it wasn't 'fair' for him. But in the end he became the President.Albert Einstein was born autistic. Yet he developed equations that were fundamental for modern physics.Sarawak is a super-rich state which has abundant natural resources, yet there are people still living in poverty. Ironic, no?

The fairness of the world comes through the fact that those at a disadvantage have the chance to learn whereas others do not.I mean, it's true. You've got nothing to lose by learning. If you learn you overcome your disadvantage, and when you get where those that had the advantage over you are, in a way you are even better than them. Since you overcame more obstacles than them, you can say you're better than them as well.
Fairness is distributed evenly by God,we just gotta do the right thing. Look, I'm not going to discuss this from a religious point of you since there are atheists out there as well, but everything comes with a different advantage or disadvantage. It's up to ourselves to see the things in different lights.The world is unfair. That is why it is fair. The world IS. Whether it is fair or unfair is up to us to decide. If the world was "fair", we would all be just carbon copies of each other, and where would the fun be in that?We are the world, without us, there is no world, the world is in the palm of our hands. We live on Earth, but we are the ones who make it our world. And we are the ones who will have to carry it into infinity, and maybe even beyond that.
Or maybe I'm just emo right now.
