We are conditioned to look for justice in life and when it doesn't appear, we tend to feel anger, anxiety or frustration. Actually, it would be equally productive to search for the fountain of youth, or some such myth. The world is simply not put together that way. Robins eat worms. That's not fair to the worms. Spiders eat flies. That's not fair to the flies. Cougars kill coyotes. Coyotes kill badgers. Badgers kill mice. Mice kill bugs. Bugs…You have only to look at nature to realize there is no justice in the world. Tornadoes, floods, tidal waves, draughts are all unfair. It is a mythological concept, this justice business. The world and the people in it go on being unfair every day. You can choose to be happy or unhappy, but it has nothing to do with the lack of justice you see around you.

我们都习惯于在生活中寻找公平，当事情不公平的时候，我们就容易生气、焦虑或者是失望。事实上，这就等同于寻找青春的源头，抑或是寻找某种神话。世界并不只是通过那样的方式拼在一起的。知更鸟吃毛毛虫，这对毛毛虫是不公平的；蜘蛛吃苍蝇，这对苍蝇是不公平的；美洲狮杀死了丛林狼，丛林狼又杀死了獾，獾又杀死了老鼠，老鼠再杀死昆虫，昆虫再……你必须在看大自然的时候意识到在这世界上没有公平存在。龙卷风、洪水、潮汐、干旱，所有的都是不公平的。公平这种事情是一个虚构的概念。这个世界以及在世界生活着的人们每天都在经历着不公平。你可以选择快乐或者不快乐，但对于在你周围你所看到的不公平却是无能为力。
