mythoughtsxactly's posterous http://mythoughtsxactly.posterous.com My random thoughts on life and how it operates :) posterous.com Mon, 13 Dec 2010 09:57:08 -0800 FAIR?? http://mythoughtsxactly.posterous.com/fair http://mythoughtsxactly.posterous.com/fair fair?? its the end of the semester and i tried to sell my books back for "Ca$h" ;) No.
Denied.
Its bad enough that the "deal" is to recieve HALF of (and sometimes less than) the amount yu paid for the book, but nOw, they tell you they're "upgrading to a better book and will not buy yours" which is SOMEWHAT understandable...i guess.
the other excuse, my favorite, is that "they dont need anymore." -_-
this has happened now with 1, 2, 3 of my books from this past semester.
so i started thinking about how unfair that was.
then i realized that the purpose of college is to prepare us for the real world - that IT is unfair, so Deal.
which of course made me question further where the unfairness plays in.
and i've found this - that all kinds of institutions around us, prior to college, are unfair.
it is unfair of them to cradle us in a mindset regarding fair treatment of others - kind language, kind behavior.
it is unfair of society to baby and brainwash us into believing in fairness and equality when once we've "grown up" (turned 18 according to society) we are FORCED to accustom ourselves of the exact opposite!
"if you want something in life, go get it. no one will give it to you."
"yu have to conform to certain ways of society in order to move up the social ladder"
...
how dare they make us believe in a world of unity, equality, love, opportunity, eternity, wealth, health - FAIRNESS!!
if the plan is to STRIP those ideas all at once??

[Granted, this was written purely out of anger, so some ideals (religion) were not taken into account.]
