Injustice

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This world is not perfect and so to expect a utopia is nothing more than fooling oneself. There are as many vices as there are virtues. We all would have one time or other have to face the reality of this imperfect world. Let’s think of one such thing, ‘Justice’. For a human being to seek and get justice, in my personal opinion, is the most innate. Justice does not come in picture only in context of Jurispendence as it is popularly used. Justice comes in picture in each and every transaction that happens in this society.

I am sure every one of us will agree that injustice hurts like anything, but is there something which is more in magnitude to the pain of injustice? Yes there is, it is, not even getting the right to ask for justice. A person will always yearn for justice, injustice will rankle forever but inability to ask for justice precludes this. To illustrate this let us think of situations shown in two movies “Schindler’s List” and “Hotel Rwanda”. The movies were about the great acts of two souls (both are true and real story) but take another perspective, in these two movies we could get to see details of crime on humanity. Now what I wanted to point is that those helpless people, did they ever get a chance of asking for injustice? If only they could have got the opportunity to ask for justice there could have been some consolation for them for doing their bit. What will be hurting them more,injustice or inability to ask for justtice ? Will those souls ever rest in peace? I doubt.

There is one more situation when one could not ask for justice, it happens when the act of injustice is not acknowledged to have been done. How could justice be done in that case? Human brain is very adept in coming out with explanations, reasoning and interpretation to prove nothing unjust has been done. It's just one destiny which decides you are going to get justice or not.

I really don’t know whether all can get justice in this world but I wish everyone in this world atleast try not to be unjust. It is not hard; wiki defines ‘Justice’ a concept involving the fair, moral, and impartial treatment of all persons —often seen as the continued effort to do what is "right". We should try always to be fair and honest to others, this alone would ensure that there is no grieving soul for justice.
