The Justice League

Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done.

I swear i could not recall who said  that even if my life depended on it. Thank god my life is not dependent on for i would  long be dead. The bottomline  is someone, somewhere, sometime did utter those pearls of wisdom.

What is justice then? Ask any criminal whether the conviction and punishment meted out is just and you will get a resounding no. The victims of those crime will say hell yes. So if justice must seen to be done, whose eyes are we supposed to be looking out from to be able to see justice being done? Or, is "justice being done/seen to be done" concept is an a moral concept? but justice cannot be a moral as it represents positive values and equally then the concept of justice may not be treated as a moral.

The truth is, there is always the perception that justice is never done. While this perception do not change the segment of society that holds on to this belief changes all the time. These changes are based on the personal beliefs of an individual in a given scenario or on an issue. Be reminded that i am not saying there are none holding the opposite view of justice being done but they too differ in their composition.

This is testament from the fact that two individuals growing up in a similar condition could hold vastly differing views about a same issue. So can we say the stimuli from our surrounding shape us or is it that our perception of the stimuli shape our views on them?

Oh well...why are we thinking about this now right? It is friday after all.....
