What is Justice? Who decides what is right and what is wrong?

The Law of Perception tries to help us understand each of us ‘perceive’ things/life/each other differently.

So, it makes sense that in order for us all to live in harmony and peace with one another we need to allow for different perspectives and apply tolerance and patience to try and resolve our differences.

Do we?

Do you?

How do you react when someone disagrees with you or cuts across what you want to do?

What do you do when reasoned logic gets lost amongst uncontrolled emotions?

What do you do when communication breaks down, when justice in a courtroom is left to the mercy of which clever lawyer can verbally out-spar the other?

Everyday we can pick up a newspaper, turn on the TV and be horrified by atrocities that are being carried out around the world.

We can gasp at the awfulness and shake our heads and say it shouldn’t be allowed to happen but then what.

What do we do as individuals?

You can argue what difference can you make and maybe you wouldn’t know where to begin – so what’s the answer?

Do nothing my friend or do something?

Sometimes you have to take up the sword and fight for what you believe in. This is not about being aggressive or violent, this is about having the courage of your convictions and trying to make a difference in this world we live in.

This is the same world you have helped to create.

But before we get on our soapbox and start judging others there is something we can do. We can start to examine our own lives.

What we see on the TV and read in the papers can often be grim and extreme forms of abuse and injustice. What ends up out of control and devastating often starts off with a lack of appreciation or respect between people. Power struggles.

What stops humanity from progressing further and out of this misery is the selfish desire to gain the upper hand and lust for power.

True power comes through respect – not through forcing someone’s hand to comply to another’s will.

Such power gained this way will be short-lived.

So, my friend, if you want to change the world, start by looking at the world you have created for yourself. Question your motives behind why you take action and if you need to take up the sword – use it carefully, with respect and if you choose to do nothing then accept your decision and don’t bemoan your fate.

You may not be able to change anything but failure simply means at least you have tried. It is far, far worse to do nothing. That is called INERTIA.

Many people stand in judgement of others and criticise but don't actually do anything to try and make a difference or attempt to understand the differences. Will you make a stand for something you believe in?  Are you prepared to put your head above the parapet in the face of adversity and stand up and be counted?
