AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE IN AN UNFAIR WORLD
FIRST, it’s important to establish a few assumptions. Number one: The world isn’t necessarily fair. “Shit happens.” Number Two: This is especially the case when money and power are regarded as sin qua non. Thirdly: Humans are all basically the same in terms of impulsivity, intent, actions and responsibility. Finally: All actions are the inevitable result of outside causes-and-effects (“I had no choice”), though in the epitome of this style of thinking — violation, war and “no-fault” litigation — it only matters who wins. Unfair? Yes. An unfair advantage or point-of-view like, for instance, “revenge,” however, doesn’t seem to me a solution, just more of the same. And money and power are convenient illusions.
So what is the answer? Being a “lamb amongst the lions?” Inflicting on oneself and others the pain, guilt and hatred of the violator? I believe the only effective approach is, within one’s means to live well while helping others do the same. In my newest Sci-Fu (plausible scientific futuring) novel, the Amazon genre bestseller, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, three youths struggle to know who they are and why they exist in a future where technology dominates — https://savant-bookstore-honolulu.squ... domestically with free shipping or https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Ed... with free shipping internationally. Their particular challenge is coming to grips with how to thrive in a world replete with unfair advantages. A world where the art of the con has been elevated to new levels and “Fast Eddies” seize and exploit every advantage, fair or unfair, to the maximum.
How does one find self-actualization in a world where the only most aggressive, competitive and advantaged reach the pinnacle of wealth and power? What does it mean to live well, and, what, after all, is enough?
