Do you feel like life is unfair? How do you deal with unfairness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayne W. Dyer says that seeing something as unfair comes from comparison. When others are getting what you want, then you feel the need to even it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how to deal with unfairness in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Stop Seeking Fairness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In his book Your Erroneous Zones,<\/em> Dyer contends that it\u2019s commendable to learn how to deal with unfairness in life, but it becomes self-defeating when it makes you feel negative emotions like rage, apprehension, and bitterness\u2014these all get in the way of your happiness. For example, you might be miserable at work<\/a> because you think it\u2019s unfair that your coworker gets the same pay as you despite working fewer hours. Or you might be exhausted trying to repay every favor friends do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: If you\u2019re seeking fairness, how can you tell what\u2019s \u201cfair\u201d to begin with? In a broader sense, determining what\u2019s just or unjust can be complicated. In A Theory of Justice<\/em><\/a>, political philosopher John Rawls explains that justice is the goal underlying the rules of society\u2014but there\u2019s no universal sense of justice that all societies agree on. He argues that people can and should determine the distribution of social goods (like rights and wealth) through reason and logic. This idea is the underpinning of his theory of \u201cjustice as fairness,\u201d<\/a> which allows for basic human rights, some degree of social and economic equality, and a safety net for more vulnerable members of society.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dyer argues that people hold onto this erroneous zone because it gives them an excuse to seek revenge to right an injustice, even if it means doing something wrong. For example, you might be upset that your partner dumped you for someone else, so you seek \u201cfairness\u201d by spreading private messages between the two of you without their consent\u2014you justify your bad behavior with their bad behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: How do you know where to draw the line between fighting unfairness and doing something wrong? In The Practice of Adaptive Leadership<\/em><\/a>, the authors advise reflecting on your ethics<\/a> to consider how far you\u2019re willing to go to achieve your purpose<\/a>. To do this, think about two factors when choosing a course of action: 1) the scope of harm to others, and 2) the scope of harm to yourself.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Stop Seeking Fairness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how you can overcome this erroneous zone, according to Dyer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Stop comparing yourself to others<\/a>. <\/strong>Comparing yourself to someone else means you\u2019re placing your happiness in the hands of an external force\u2014you can only be happy if you feel like you have what they have. Recognize your unique value<\/a>, embrace your strengths, and work on your weaknesses so you can advance toward your goals without the distraction and negative feelings that come from comparison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In The Gifts of Imperfection<\/em><\/a>, Bren\u00e9 Brown says you can recognize your unique value and increase your sense of self by being creative<\/a>\u2014for example, by drawing or writing. Since no one else can express their creativity in the same way as you, you\u2019ll be able to see that your creative talents reflect a part of you that\u2019s individual and incomparable.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Be comfortable with scales tipping to one side. <\/strong>Rid yourself of the \u201ceye for an eye\u201d mindset, whether that means revenge or repaying someone\u2019s kindness. (Shortform note: Thinking that everything should always be an equal amount of give and take might be especially unhealthy in marriage, where score-keeping can be counterproductive. Brown instead advocates communicating how much energy each of you has to give<\/a> and adjusting who should give more support at a given time. For example, if your wife is busy trying to start her own business, you might have to take on more of the household responsibilities.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Act. <\/strong>Rather than wallow in misery about unfairness, do something. For example, if you\u2019re unhappy that your coworker is paid more than you are, ask for a raise or look for a higher-paying job. (Shortform note: If what\u2019s bringing you down isn\u2019t unfairness in your life but unfairness in society in general\u2014for example, the lack of food and shelter for a neighboring community\u2014it can feel overwhelming. In this case, acting might look like<\/a>: educating yourself about the issues you care about, sharing educational resources on social media, and donating money to organizations that support your cause.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
