Take a second to reconsider your thoughts about how you treat the next person so that you can reflect on the need to put certain parameters into consideration.
First, before you feed that thought and take those steps in concluding how people around you should be treated, make no mistake, you and I are not absolved of the guilty mind that is often responsible for most bad decisions or wrong choices.
Understanding the need for justice, equity and equality makes us realize the mirage and confusing realities we all get to be faced with when push comes to shove and we are directly involved in the negative or not-so-nice aspects of our daily life.
The knowledge of Law comes with the idea that people who know so much about right/wrong, facts/fiction, truth/lies, justice/injustice or even the positive recognition of where to find laws in order to promote social order cannot completely satisfy their conscience consistently.
When you wash dirt off your clothes, you have to use the clothes again and next thing you know, it needs to be washed over and over. Same thing with your mouth/teeth. However hard and late you fiddle with your toothbrush and mouthwash at night, by the next morning, the need to do it all again pops up at you.
The perspective of Justice comes like a consistently confusing wave because of the dynamics of human existence. You can only so much as speak for yourself when it comes to what you know and what you don't know. If you know me and what I can do, you may just want to run away from me because if I really ask you to speak for yourself, you can't in all honesty tell me everything you have done or you're thinking right now.
If justice was a lifestyle, nobody would be able to live up to expectations consistently and intentionally. The forces of faith, needs, necessity, greed, compulsion, benefits, responsibility and everything almost always compel us to do the right things as much as we can and make mistakes too when we can't help it.
While the concept of good and evil marks out what is right and wrong for peculiar justice specifics, justice is confusing because it remains divergent depending on who's asking, who's defining and who's the judge.
Ultimately, we all need to understand the difference in our situations so as to appreciate what others go through while the pursuit for justice must be done in perspective always.
Do what you must, but ensure that you do justice to everyone and in everything...as much as practicable.
Thank you.

The last four paragraphs got me reading and re-reading to hold a different opinion but submissions are apt and I won't but agree!!.
ReplyDeleteHowever to add my view, I would say, the aspect of Justice where practicability and application comes in makes it less
or not confusing. Practicability would be the laid down laws which differs from one country to the other and application is to make sure the issue(s) at hand is treated and dispensed in the best of applicability. Where the laws are placed before an umpire but interest makes it impossible to apply then the issue of justice being confusing or justice meaning something different won't arise.
Justice to every human being is one that is universal and again, application and practicability comes to play when the standard isn't abided by.
Thanks so much Zainab Gani Esq. Your great intellectual excellence is instructive always.
