    After giving it a little bit of thought, fairness and morality
    have a complementary relationship to one another in one
    sense .

    Fairness seems to have a comparative notion of the
    treatment of one's self or another in relation to still
    others and/or by others. Biologically or socially.

    Morality seems to have a more internal referent that
    guides the self's actions towards others intellectually.
    Morals developed socially, when dynamically engaged
    intellectually become a powerful internal small-q quality.

      To all:

      We've all heard kids say "it's not fair!" (and have most likely said it ourselves). But does that mean that "it's" not Moral? What is the realtionship between Fairness and Morality? Any thoughts?

      p.s I'm short on time, which is why the prompt is so short. Hopefully people's responses will be longer and more comprehensive. : )
