By accepting that life isn't fair, and capitalism certainly isn't fair either. Working hard, and doing everything right, does not guarantee success. And when someone does have success, it's not necessarily to do with their actions.

It can't really be rationalized. All you can do is maximize your chances of living the best life you can.
