Every time someone unironically asks me to define fairness, I explain that whatever they think someone else deserves has to be something they themselves would accept happening to them for being guilty of the same thing. It's terrifying how many adults either stare at me blankly or are outright hostile towards such a thought exercise.
I don't think I've ever been asked to define fairness. Lol
Apparently this person gets asked that both ironically and unironically. So like every day they're having to explain to people what fairness is. Hmm.
Maybe they create these scenarios by talking about fairness a lot.
