Is life really fair?
Good day everyone, well am writing this out of great sorry because I just read ***The Old Man and the Sea.*** Well it got me into much of though about life, I thought about Libya, Syria and co ***The Old Man and the Sea*** is a short novel written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Cuba, and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction written by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novella https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Hemingway https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Stream
I finish reading the above book and I concluded that life may not seem fair to every one, bad things would happen to good people , at times bad luck is just the way of some personality, Santiago in the above text , is a Fisher man who went for more than 100 without catch any single fish pathetic? , At last when he set into the Deep to to very far into the waters he was able to catch a very big fish. which when his mates measure the fish skeleton, it seems the biggest that any fisherman could have ever catch. The painful things was the suppose fish that should break the long jinx was eaten by a shark .😥 There was really no fish catch still. Life would poses different direction at each person I think some people are really lucky or unlucky, my question is, can we say Nature is fair to every one?

Good day to you too and thank you for sharing your novel with us. from what I read I also do not realize if our lives are really fair
Yes it so painful to see some people enjoy benefits and have no knowledge of suffering what so ever which chances can be taken , how fair or in fair life could ever be how .
Never read any hemmingway works before but i remember a friend telling me that his works really feel like they were always based on scenarios of the most miserable people at times
Well this is the very first one of his work I would read but I don't know if I would try to read other works he wrote , but this one his very miserable the man life he portrays here is next to badluck
I can see that the man is miserable but still not tempted enough to read hemmingway. I've been meaning to read divina comedia though. It's an epic
Oh okay , don't read Hemingway. I would also like divina comedia.
I think I need to get this novel and read.....well, I will say the nature is fair but the way we handle life different, our fate are also different.... Life is not balance to some they live in a mansion and enjoy every bits of life while to some life wasn't smiling .....it's just fate.... But you know what??? We can achieve our goals We shouldn't stop when we are tired we stop when we are done.
Oh well I love your verdict but mind you the front page of the book has changed though just focus with the name of the writer and the theme of the book.
