Justice
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.

Intelligent decision
The aftermath is an encounter with a person
of toxic energy can be an extremely debilitating one. Even retaliating makes
you feel you are hitting against the wall and often, bleeding.
The tragic part is that you discover that
you are not devoid of toxicity yourself because you actually did pretty much
what you despised in the first place. Evidently, it is somewhere within and
bursts forth without warning triggered off by the other person.
Walking away from situations is probably an
intelligent decision. Ignoring is another solution. Gritting your teeth and
smiling is another but jokes apart, although it gets tough to not retaliate
when someone is being plain obnoxious, it is wiser to step aside. And if you
have a relapse, try and try again.

Appreciation
There is freedom in appreciation. When we
appreciate someone sincerely from our hearts, we free ourselves from any
bondage of envy, the comparisons or antipathy. The reverse is also true. And if
you look within yourself at this moment of appreciation, you will find a
strange joy within.
It is easier to appreciate and even admire
a well known figure because we can't see ourselves on par with that person. But
it is not so easy to do so within our own social community. That is too much up
close and personal and within the range of competition. It could be tough to be
generous. That's where generous people become objects of admiration, because
the breed is majorly in the minority. And the tag for such humans is
"abnormally normal".

Separatism
Taking off from the saying, "Evil is educational",
it seems so much easier to understand when you view this from the point of view
of individual ego inspiring the evil and collective ego , the sum total of many
egos inspiring negativity amounting to collective evil. Like terrorism which
stems from a radical belief system honed by dark perceptions and leading to a
collective evil, all
within the darkness of negative perceptions.
How much cleaning one has to do of the self then is a matter
of every person's agenda for only then will our societies purify and our future
generations become secure, prosperous, progressive and peaceful.
Hatred is evil. Separatism is evil. And
until such memories are transformed, we will continue to attract evil because
we have transcended darkness.

Co incidence
There is a constant blessing and regular messages coming from
the Universe if we are open. Sometimes, a message meant for someone else gets
posted to your cell. But there is nothing like a co incidence. So, think what
the words convey to you. They will most definitely apply to you in some way.
Today, I got a similar message which made me smile. It was really so relevant to the relationship with the sender. I am aware that there is a resistance from the other end but to me, it was a sign that I had to reply. So I did. I am not seeking any outcome from anything. I have realized that this is the mistake we make always. We don't move from our place of ego.
One day, as we go along, we
realize that all we need to do is cleanse ourselves. Not to worry about the
others. Inner transformation gets manifested outside. So, the more we cleanse,
the more our inner world gets purified. And then we don't look for returns. Simultaneously,
the effect shows around us, in people, in events automatically ...everywhere.
It is very simple. If you have
a black spot on your cheek, your mirror will show it. But you have to clean it
from your face before the mirror can show a clean face. You can't clean it
inside the mirror, can you?
