Aphorisms - Feelers' Fairness


Some people see things in terms of what they did to others, what others did for them and whether both were equal. Other people look at things differently. decide what is appropriate to do for each person and compare what they themselves do with what they had earlier thought wa appropriate. Hence their definition of fairness is : "did I violate my norm?". Not whether they paid for what they got or "Do unto others..." They believe completely in their norm and as long as they behaved in accordance with it or there was a genuine reason (cramps) that allows an exception then they have done no wrong. Whether it's Mr Trump believing he is following his own values (though his values being inconsistent cannot be articulated) or another person following a consistent set of values, often times these values may not be "fair". Fairness is not within the realm of feelers. Whether it's Mr Trump believing he is following his own values (though his values being inconsistent cannot be articulated) or another person following a consistent set of values, often times these values may not be "fair".
