Justice and Freedom of Choice
Justice is not the privilege of judges, rabbis, priests, physicists, biologists or high-ranking officials. My father who was a community mediator 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 a solid foundation. It is better to say sorry than to regret at a later date.
But Justice my friend, lost the blindfold ages ago at the same time that those scales were rigged. Sorry I am a sworn cynic.
