<<Is it even theoretically possible for every person to have all of their Maslow needs met simultaneously and absolutely>> I don't know but that isn't what my statement meant. "Everyone's needs are met simultaneously and absolutely." means that; in a single instance/moment my needs are being met, yours are, the apple you are eating is serving its purpose perfectly, etc. etc. through out the universe. Maslow doesn't apply unless every creature is considered self actualized? I am not a Maslovian.

<<So by your definition, there can never be fairness in the world.>> By my definition there is always fairness in the universe. You have to remember that by my definition fairness transends an event or even a series of events and is taken in the general and eternal sense. So, your examples of too many men wanting to do the same woman etc. don't apply.

<<So I'll ask again -- what is fairness? How do we know when life is being fair and when it isn't?>> You cannot know when life is being fair. There are visible and invisible forces in the world. As humans, we have an awareness of a very small margin of the spectrum of forces. We aren't all knowing, nor are we meant to be. Mystery is the most motivating force that I know within myself. You can know from your perspective when injustice is being dealt and you can determine what your sphere of influence over it is. You may stand and fight against it,; if you can't do that, you may speak against it; if you can't do that you can form opposition to it in your heart. In any event the fairness you perceive is where you have a view of things or a hand in things. You can't fix the world. In fact you can't even change it, except cosmetically (Don't tell the evolutionists I said that. It drives them into a frenzy). You can't even know whether or not another person is being fair because you would have to know for certain their intentions (not possible, I'm afraid). Bottom line is you can know if you are being fair and only at the level of intent because you could tragically be fighting on the wrong side with good intentons. That's about it.
