“It’s
not fair, not fair.”
“Your world is always fair.” I
didn’t make it a question, and she just straightened and looked at me without
speaking. I don’t think she would have
or could have answered it anyway.
“There’s no fairness to worlds.
Fairness is a thing created by men.
It doesn’t exist. It isn’t the
same in different cities, or among different people. How can fairness be the same thing in two
different worlds? In your world you were
a scholar, in this one you’re nothing.
In this world I’m a warrior, but if I went to yours, I might be a
beggar.”
(from Warrior of
the Altaii by Robert Jordan)
