Savonarola and Fairness

“That’s not fair!” How many times have we said this before? Surely, quite a few. So many events in life do not turn out the way we think they should. In Ecclesiastes 9:13-15, Solomon shares a story about a man who was not treated fairly, “This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me: There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.”
