Miles: The world is not unfair. It's just what it is.
Andrew: "The world is not unfair. It's just what it is." That's good; can I quote you on that?
Miles: Yes. I am right.

Alright, Miles!
Long ago I wrote in a poem:
The world is not fair or unfair.
It just is.
which I found echoed in Van the Man's:
It ain't why, why, why, why, why, why
It just is.
