Fairness is a concept that holds only in limited situations. Yet we want the concept to extend to everything, in and out of phase. From snails to hardware stores to married life. Maybe no one finds it, or even misses it, but fairness is like love. What is given has nothing to do with what we seek.
Fairness is often perceived as an ideal that we wish to apply universally, but it actually exists under specific conditions. We desire fairness to permeate various aspects of life, from simple things to complex relationships. However, this longing might not always be achieved or even necessary, as people may not actively seek it out.
The author suggests that fairness, akin to love, is subjective and may not be fulfilled in the ways we expect. What is offered in terms of fairness often does not align with what individuals truly desire. This reflects a deeper philosophical exploration of the nature of human relationships and our expectations from the world around us.
