All right, so the concept of fairness has been floating around a little bit here and there on the forums and in my inbox.

So I need to tell you about fairness, because fairness is a huge problem.

So let me tell you about a conversation I had many years ago

with a friend of mine's daughter.

Now this woman was working in an office

and she had trained a younger employee and she herself had a tough

childhood she was had a temper and so on and the younger worker kept getting the lion's share of the work.

And so she went to her bosses and she was like,

hey, this younger worker, the person I trained,

she's 10 years younger than me, I trained her and she's

getting the work. You gotta fix that, this is unfair. I'm better at what I do, I'm the one who trained

her and she keeps getting the jobs that are meant for me.

That's unfair.

And she got really angry.

And I had a tough time understanding that.

And I was very open at having a tough time understanding there.

And she said, well, I'm better at the work.

And I said, okay, so let's say you're technically better at the work, so what?

Well then people should give me the work.

And I said, but you're not as much fun to work with.

Right, you're not as much fun to work with. So what you're saying to you, by going to your bosses and complaining about unfairness,

you're saying I can't compete with someone 10 years younger who I trained.
