THE JUSTICE TRAP

    We are conditioned to look for justice in life and when it doesn't appear, we tend to feel anger, anxiety or frustration. Actually, it would be equally productive to search for the fountain of youth, or some such myth. The world is simply not put together that way. Robins eat worms. That's not fair to the worms. Spiders eat flies. That's not fair to the flies. Cougars kill coyotes. Coyotes kill badgers. Badgers kill mice. Mice kill bugs. Bugs...You have only to look at nature to realize there is no justice in the world. Tornadoes, floods, tidal waves, draughts are all unfair. It is a mythological concept, this justice business. The world and the people in it go on being unfair every day. You can choose to be happy or unhappy, but it has nothing to do with the lack of justice you see around you.

    Our culture promises justice. Politicians refer to it in all of their campaign speeches. "We need equality and justice for all." Yet day after day, nay , century after century, the lack of justice continues. Poverty, war, pestilence, crime, prostitution, dope and murders persist generation after generation in public and private life. And if the history of humanity can be used as a guide they will continue.

    Injustice is a constant, but you, in your infinite new wisdom, can decide to fight that injustice and refuse to be seduced into being emotionally immobilized over it. You can work at helping to eradicate injustice, and you can decide that you won't be psychologically defeated by it.
