The world isn't fair. We knew that from day one when we have envy in our eyes since we were young. Why our friends get to have what we don't. Why they seem to enjoy much more than we have.

It always feels like we're on the short end of the stick. Someone is always better off than us. Whether it is our friends, our neighbours, our siblings even. Funny how we never feel proud when we get the other end of the stick.

I know its unfair, that given the amount of time I spent, and the others on the same thing. I seem to be doing it more efficiently where for the lesser amount of seeds I sow, I seem to have gotten the same, if not more fruits.

I'm kind of guilty about it too. But truthfully

Its all but an illusion.

What you don't see doesn't mean don't happen. The most logical explanation people have came up with, is sowing seeds secretly, while others are enjoying their rest. What they often fail to realise is that, the amount of seeds aren't the only factor is producing fruits. Fertilisers, nutrients, pests, weeds. These things come into play too.

In fact, sowing seeds in itself probably won't give us much fruits. We have to constantly fertilise the soil, remove the weeds and pests. Just because most people like to sow their seeds and assume that they would grow into lovely fruits doesn't mean it will.

Then again, I would like to say that the world is always fair. It is but a matter of how we look at things.

A typical example would be the round coin. Which isn't really round. It is rectangular when we start looking at it from a different perspective.

Life is probably the same. Comparing the same variables would definitely result in one higher than the other. That means one sample is better off than the other. Definitely.

Until you look at other variables.
