Justice

There is no inherent justice in life. Poetic or otherwise. Justice is the fairness and lawfulness we create as a species from day to day by acts of political and individual will. If love, a deeply felt desire to be kind and compassionate to all beings, is the basis of those day-to-day decisions, then justice will evolve. However, injustice, based in greed, often passes for justice among the human elite of the world. There is never justice in belligerent aggression. There is never justice in denying individuals control over their own bodies and minds. There is never justice in trying to discourage love, kindness, commitment and generosity in human relationships. The just are often those who quietly support and defend the lawful rights of others despite great odds. I seek justice by trying to foster it in myself.
