Justice

The first thing to mention is that when i read the word justice i hear it in the Dark Knight batman voice.
Justice, the act of people getting what they deserve.
Rapists are raped in jail, especially the pretty ones.
Murderers stay in jail, away from society and stimulation.
Abusive parents are murdered by their psychopathic offspring, who are then seperated by society.
Those who are hurt however can never be unhurt, but we can at least stop it from recurring.
Those who do evil will eventually pay for it. Perhaps not now, perhaps not while they are alive, but it will happen.
Justice is the moral backbone of society, it keeps those who would create fear afraid, and those who would be hurt unharmed. Is it a perfect system? No, it probably never could be.

Justice in marriage is that when a man hits his wife she slits his throat in the middle of the night and leaves with the children, taking the money with her. People don't do this however, they stay victims.

Immigration isn't my call. I don't see a problem with it.

Perhaps i'm a little harsh but i don't think there is any coming back from doing something terrible. Murder is not nearly as terrible to me as rape, theft is not the crime of drug dealing, murder for profit is not murder for defense.

The truth and the "cave"

I'd guess that people believe what they see and hear because we don't have much else to go on. We see something and even if we try to understand it with reason we may never understand what truly happened. we can't completely separate it from our own perceptions. Also introspection is difficult and we don't do it for every situation. Also belief is like a form of trust in our source. If we trust our source we will often believe what they tell us.

People are afraid to emerge from their caves because to do so would be to be exposed to a bigger world, a multidimensional and highly emotional world where everything is connected and patterns are everywhere. In this big world we are all immensely powerful and at the same time terrifyingly responsible. When we are given the knowledge of our humanity and the humanity of those around us, we find it harder to hurt and to hate. When we even attempt to understand others we raise them to a high level and subsequently raise ourselves as well.    

I can't go back to the dark cave of ignorance once i have seen the light but there are times when i wish i could return to that state of oblivion. For me the worst knowledge in the world is the realization that people will betray and hurt you, more so if you love them. People are all human but they cannot all be like you.
