#Thoughts: Do Unfair People Deserve Fairness?

When a corrupt but well educated person ridicules an honest but less educated person on the basis of qualifications, people are likely to support the later. One, as a society our culture does not encourage us to ridicule or look down at others. To do so in public is a graver sin. Secondly, in such times we also think about "who" are the persons involved and judge them based on their characters. In Ramayan, Lord killed an evil person who accused him before dying of using a trick to kill. Lord is said to have said something which means - you employed evil and unfair means for your whole life to subjugate others and when it comes to your end, you are citing fairness of methods only in order to save your life. 

Do unfair people deserve fairness? 

As someone said, we think of moral and ethics only when these serve our own selfish motives. When it comes to think of moral and ethics which could harm our selfish interests, we tend to ignore these.
