Justice has always intrigued me. In many
cases, there are layers and layers of human emotions that compound the process
of justice.
At the end of the day, any injustice done
to anyone else has to be a mental aberration of some kind or an unmanageable emotion,
like anger, jealousy, frustration ....or simply an innocent act gone wrong.
Everything ultimately boils down to the
fact that we have little option but to understand the people around us. How
they think. What they feel. And why they do what they do. A deed is done and
cannot be undone. The justice tag is in the eyes of the beholder, like beauty.
Because the wrong, the injustice, is only a perception which need not be
perceived as such by the person on whose action the judgment is being made.
This way of thinking is a most liberating
one. Unless you see a matter of life and death happening. Justice holds an
important place in such eventualities. No question of sitting back and smelling
the coffee here because we have a sense of duty and responsibility towards us
and society.
