The equal distribution of happiness

I empathize with the sense of fairness that propels people to desire a more equal distribution of wealth and resources. Should we all get the same pay and privileges? Sure.

But then, why shouldn't we all get the same love and respect, the same health and happiness, the same cute little butt and big boobs? Why don't we desire more of that as well? To be equally loved and appreciated. Why does life have to be such a capitalist bitch if its goal is to teach us 'communistically' that finding meaning in life is common to all, yet it should be defined individually?

What's the point of a tie in a game?

If the idea behind playing a game is to take on a challenge and the goal is to always win, then what is the point of accepting the tie as a result in a game?

When you accept the tie as a result, does that mean the two teams are equal? What's the point of knowing that you can't beat the other and that neither he or she can beat you back either? Should ending a game in a tie be not acceptable as a final result? What do you think?
