In my opinion, Justice and Freedom of Choice is not always the same in every society

Justice and Freedom of Choice

Justice is not the privilege of judges, rabbis, priests, physicists, biologists or high-ranking officials. My father who was an arbitrator used to say: “The real justice is when you have no loser and no winner”.   Some people may be competent, some are less competent and others may not belong to the field of their choosing.  But society knows how to choose according to the rules established among its members.   Let us not give away our freedom of choice.  If need be, let us neutralize our selfishness and resist our pride.  Our duty towards ourselves dictates that we admit to our shortcomings, weaknesses and errors.  It is never too late to change direction, or to review our decisions and modify them.  Would it be wise to cross the desert with a sick camel?  There is too much at stake.  This also holds true when we realize that our choices and decisions do not rest on solid foundations. It is better to say sorry than to regret later.
One should not confuse this with the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice issue.

It seems that since the second world war we have taken too many wrong choices although have at our disposition many means that our forefathers couldn't dream of.
Justice and freedom of choice has gone whacko (Miranda-Escobedo mantra, burning the flag, "freedom" of speech to slander, etc etc etc to the n-potence)
Justice is, yes, no winner and no losers, and the freedom of make choices like I shouldn't put my foot over my neighbor's property because it's wrong, not because I could be caught.
Spendid analysis.

Your articles always make me think... choices... choices... I used to believe that everyone deeply evaluated their choices, but I have found that, sadly, it is a rarer trait than I imagined. Few people in society today are willing to place blame on themselves and would much prefer to just blame all problems on others. Where is the justice in that?? I have been on the receiving end of such blame and it cost me more than I like to think about, as well as costing me several dear friendships... but in the end, I guess the friendships weren't as dear as I had imagined if "justice" and "blame" got in the way. But I guess that is a tangent. :~) Thanks for making me think...
