Topic: Ultimate Fairness

If we were to construct a reality of ultimate fairness, where only the good people are spared adversity, then everyone would be good. Not a bad idea you say. On the surface, we would all want a system where misfortune falls only on the bad people. In a system of ultimate fairness, you would think everyone would be good. However, in a system of ultimate fairness, people would be good not because they love God with all their heart and with all their might. They would be good only because they did not want adversity in their lives and they would leave God out of their lives. In many ways, we do operate on a system where acts of good are rewarded and acts of evil are punished. Yet, people still do acts of evil. In a system of ultimate fairness, if persons included God in the picture, most persons would worship and honor God only to avoid adversity, pain, and suffering. In a system of supposed ultimate fairness, we could even question whether people would love God at all. What we must remember is we are to love God with no conditions. We are to love God when we are in pain and not in pain. We are to love God when we are poor and when we are rich. We are to love God in season and out of season. We are to love God whether there is fairness or injustice.
