Justice is not an option

When I recently felt that the legal system failed me and I didn't receive justice, it hurt. It hurt to loose my dignity in public eye. It hurt that the aggressor punished me for crime I did not commit. It was a plant copyright matter. I was innocent from many perspectives and the allegations were unfair at many levels. What stopped me from justice? Many things including knowledge, wealth and health. The aggressor was too strong in manipulating and using all three and I wasn't. It made me think, why did the aggressor do it. I knew there was a political motivation behind it and I wanted to know why someone would create such enimosity with such aggression towards harmless people? What causes a man to become a monstor! What makes a man forget other persons wellbeing? Why what they had was not sufficient to satisfy them? Why an abandoned farm planted for a disable kids wellbeing became the target of a controversy? Why the truth didn't matter? Why my proof, my motive, my knowledge wasn't enough for the aggressor to accept my innocence? It caused me grave concern that we all pretend to be ethical, God fearing people who love justice and yet we do not fear a thing when causing harm and pain to the another humanbeing. Ethics is not about taking care of your personal interest. The concept of God that us humans created is very much about taking care of THY NEIGHBOUR, not self interest. One can not achieve piece by causing pain. The point of this life is not to accumulate wealth, have as much luxury you can have and fuck every bitch on your way to the office and back home. This is not called success. We have to rectify our definition of success. It all starts with how a nation counts its success and therefore GDP measurement has to go out the window. Whatever way a nation counts its success,thats the way people measure their personal success. People in poor nations have less hourly rate than people in wealthy nations. It's all relative. Employment rate matters but so does average pay verses the ratio of pay of a CEO of a company. The innormous inequalities that we have created between nations and within the citizens of a country have to be rectified. We didn't just create these inequalities in the past few years. We need to look at how long we have been causing these inequalitues through the systems we built for our profit. Profit is a very sweet word for a hardworking entrepreneur. I like profit. I like to see improvement in one's financial position over time as a payback for one's hardwork. This is one aspect of justice. There are many other aspects. We are not all born equal. Our IQ levels are different. Our physical stamina is different. Our mental strength and endurance levels are different. All of my children are strong and weak in different ways but together they can be an unmatched force. Individually, they are just average, some may be above average and one definately below average. When I rate them average or not; why must I only look at their academic intelligence? His mere presense can de-stress and evoke love and compassion and hence wellbeing in others that many sessions of therapy may not. So what is he worth? As a family unit, we have a duty to help him with understanding money, procedures and systems to contribute and succeed in material sense. He has the same basic needs as anyone else inclyding the need to have nutritious food, hygiene, productive routine, a shelter, a sense of achievement in life and a feeling of security and being treated fairly in life. The last two in list are not the least two in life. In fact, if the sense of security and being treated right and just are present, a person can endure and achieve a lot more in life. That is when our creativity and innovative mind kicks in and shows us new ways and a new level of success. Hasn't our society got fed up with the current system of measurement of success yet? Profitability and consumerism brought disaster to the planet. Our 500 square foot houses are tidy and we unwrap our couriered packages of plastic each day to our heart's content and then chuck them in the landfill. What kind of happiness us this that can't see its own stupidity and damage its causing? We all show concern and point out other peoples environmental damage but when are we going to look at our own actions and stop some of the madness? h The wealthiest nations create the most rubbish on this planet, we know that but I want to know how did the wealthiest nations become wealthier than others? What strarted this imbalance? We need to look back at our history and those heros who travelled the seas and found new lands to exploit and the devastation their brought to those lands through foreign disease, greed and injustice. The natural resources including Gold and diamonds that were stolen and taken away leaving the nations penniless. Some nations like Australia, we never left just occupied their lands and pretended that those natives were simply stupud and unproductive addicts of grog. How convenient of us to cause massacres, let others publush the history of killing of thousands of natives and yet leave those lands in the hands of the murderers and their families for generations with no consequenses. Why must those lands with thousands of acres where there was massacre held be not taken from the beneficieries of massacres and given back to the victims and their communities? Why should the injustices of generations not rectified? What happened to justice, peace and equality? Who crippled it and why? At the end of the whole blame game how would you give justice, if you were responsible for it?
