Justice

Well, there are probably a lot of definitions and ideas out there about what justice means. I've been thinking a little about it today. It seemed like a good, simple title to attempt to comprehend.

First, the concept of justice. At the moment, it means to me that things are equitable. People do work and earn compensation. It sounds good, but then again, so does democracy, but does it really exist or work or is it an ideal that we work towards? With war, the justice lays with the "winner" of the combat. But is that really the truth? Is justice available to groups or just individuals.

Sometimes, I look at the world around me, and my personal space, and wonder where the justice is? Is this something we create? Is there justice found in some other realm? Maybe i have too many questions????

Right now, Atlanta's news has been focused on fashion. Yep, the most newsworthy stuff, on a daily basis, is how to outlaw men's underwear showing in public. My boss said that should include bra straps, too. Justice, in this case, is making laws to support a group's specific desire on fashion. Is this what the justice department was created for?

On the inner planes of our selves, does justice exist there? Perhaps if we get to a state of detachment and utter calm because we have worked hard at getting there. Just desserts. There's a prize at the end of the day. It's not guaranteed, though. So, perhaps in this instance, justice becomes another state that is dependent upon the whim of fate, or grace.
