Fairness

Fairness means treating people equitably, without bias or partiality. When we are fair, we offer balance and integrity in the way we interact with and view others. Fairness manifests itself in simple ways such as taking turns, listening intently, sharing, and not taking advantage of others based on their weaknesses. Fairness requires that we do not discriminate against people based on preconceived notions, impulses, or emotions. While inspired by the ideal of justice, fairness does not mean unequivocal sameness or always following the letter of the law. Fairness makes room for us to generate solutions and compromises based on reason and circumstance.

Fairness
The Hindoos compare the moon to a saintly being who has reached the last stage of bodily existence.
Great restorer of antiquity, great enchanter! In a mild night when the harvest or hunter’s moon shines unobstructedly, the houses in our village, whatever architect they may have had by day, acknowledge only a master. The village street is then as wild as the forest. New and old things are confounded. I know not whether I am sitting on the ruins of a wall, or on the material which is to compose a new one. Nature is an instructed and impartial teacher, spreading no crude opinions, and flattering none; she will be neither radical nor conservative. Consider the moonlight, so civil, yet so savage!
