Don’t confuse the word ‘fair’ with the word ‘equal’. I cannot treat my children equally because the are not the same, they have different needs, personalities and abilities. However I always treat my children fairly, they get what they need…and that is what we all deserve….to get what we need….not what is equal to someone else.

“Fair” is a misunderstood concept. It does not mean everybody gets the same thing. It means that everybody gets what they need. This is what makes God fair. He gives us all what we need. So technically we should all be “fair”, just not the way most of the world views “fair”.

I completely agree. I have two children, and they are five years apart in age. There were many times that I had to remind them that I love them both just as much, but I cannot treat them the same, because they are not the same. I think as a culture we have taken the concepts of fairness and “sameness” to an unhealthy level.
