Fairness through Ignorance
,
John Rawls
"Perhaps you’re wealthy. Perhaps you’re super-rich. But most of
us aren’t, and some people are very poor, so poor that they
spend most of their short lives hungry and sick. This doesn’t
seem fair or right – and it surely isn’t. If there were true justice
in the world no children would starve while others have so
much money that they don’t know what to do with it. Everyone
who is sick would have access to good medical treatment. The
poor of Africa wouldn’t be so much worse off than the poor in
the USA and Britain. The rich of the West wouldn’t be so many
thousand times as rich as those who through no fault of their
own were born into disadvantage. Justice is about treating
people fairly. There are people around us whose lives are filled
with good things, and others who, through no fault of their
own, get few choices about how they survive: they can’t choose
the job they do, or even the town where they live. Some people
who think about these inequalities will just say, ‘Oh well, life’s not fair’ and shrug their shoulders. These are usually the ones
who have been particularly lucky; others will spend time
thinking about how society could be better organized and
perhaps try to change it to make it fairer."

Justice doesn't exist in this world. Knowing and saying that doesn't solve this problem. We talk and talk but do nothing. If good people were rich, world would be a better place..
