Laissez-faire Tyranny

When the state is oppressive and the nation is in dire straits but the rulers don't give two shits what goes on anywhere and the government does nothing (except suppress change maybe). It's oppression through inaction, tyranny of negligence. Usually this occurs in a rigid hereditary absolute monarchy where a bunch of inbred fucks can party until they get lynched by peasants, but really anything can end up in such a state.

fairness

Do unto other others as you would have others do unto you and those you TRULY care about (not those that you SAY you care about).
This shows something more about how fair you wish the world to be; if you are a person who likes violence, crime and hatred in your life, you will show/do those things to others in the hopes that those things will be done to you, but…..if you have someone whom you TRULY care about and they don’t like those things in their life, you are less likely to create a world with violence, crime and hatred.
Of course, the fairness goes both ways, because the one you care about will think about who you are as a person and should act accordingly.

So, you and they have to work/talk out what you decide is fair to both you and those you TRULY care about.

The kicker is deciding the limits of who should you care about; just that one person or include who they care about and those who they care about and etc.
I like fighting but my sister doesn't, so in fairness I try not to fight so much.

I couldn't be bothered with her today. She's a fair whether friend, her actions are unpredictable plus she's never around when she's needed.
