The world can be very unfair and unjust - when we compare ourselves to others.

A Buddhist tends not to look outward to mend the world and make it better; rather, he/she tends to look inward to find out why and how is it that his/her own mind should feel such an unpleasant feelings toward something quite beyond individual control. To me, that would be the point you start to discover happiness.
