According to the author, we shouldn't justify our own inertia by constantly claiming that life is unfair. People are not born in equal circumstances, but they have equal chances to make the best of their circumstances. Leaders, more than any other people, shouldn't fall prey to such vague concepts as fairness. Many things aren't fair, and that is true. Then again, many fair things wouldn't be the right things to do. Leaders should choose what is right over what is presumably fair. By pursuing "fairness", we are fooling ourselves, and providing an excuse for complaining instead of acting.

kotegsom [21]

Since we do not have the answer choices, the general answer below will help you choose the best definition for the word "epithet" as it is used in the excerpt:

Since the excerpt is about calling someone epithets such as "dear", we can conclude that "epithet" means a nickname, or an adjective that describes someone.

This question asks us to pay attention to context clues to figure out the meaning of a word.

A context clue is a piece of information given by an author that helps us understand the meaning of words in the text.

In this case, the context clue is the speaker calling the other person "dear", saying there is no lovelier epithet than this one.

With that information, we can conclude that an "epithet" is a nickname or an adjective we use to address others, usually expressing a characteristic of that person.
