When will the double standards end?

Why does it hurt the most when we're chided for doing shit, but the next person who did the exact same thing (sometimes even worse) gets away with it? Almost always inevitably, we have a tendency to set ourselves a mental benchmark using the person whom we consider to be worse than ourselves. That you know you shouldn't stoop to that level. Having this mindset in place, we often feel that it's fucking unfair when people are biased. You get accused for being a total bitch , receive snide remarks and harsh criticism for shit you did, while someone else does the very same shit and gets off scot-free. It  is undeniably human nature to be biased. Someone higher up the hierarchy would more likely get away with murder than the average joe, pretty much indefinitely. Individuals at the top of the food chain often possess a higher level of charisma, and also more influential. These traits probably helped in propelling them to their current position in the first place.
