When There Is No Justice

There is something very important to understand and it is the concept of the importance of justice. When you are treated unjustly, you often fail. When you fail, you carry with you feelings of worthlessness. Your mind goes over the act of failure and cannot let it go. After awhile, you realize that it was not all your fault. Yet there is nothing that you can do about the outcome. You failed. It’s as simple as that.

This is what others try to impress upon you as well. They say that you must accept the fact that you failed and must go on with your life. But you do not believe this. The more that you think about your failure, the more you realize that there were other people in play that were much more relevant in your failure than you yourself. Yet you cannot convince others that you are not responsible for your failure, but that another person was. If you even try to make this statement, however,  you are considered a complainer, an excuse maker. So you walk the earth with your failure given to you through the acts of someone else with a stewing sense of injustice.

Someone must pay, but the world believes that the one who must pay is obviously the failure, not the one who caused the failure to fail. We don’t believe failures when they try and pass the buck to others. We believe that we are all responsible for our destinies. But this is not true. Sometimes others actively work against you even when you have good intentions. No matter. A failure is a failure is a failure and you, as a failure, try and accept this, but can’t.

Why can’t you? Because you need justice, yet there is no justice. Often times, your failure simply comes from someone who simply said no all of the time to everything you tried to do. Perhaps it is a family member. You cannot sue this person, but you have failed because of them. Your anger is as real as if they had done you a criminal wrong and yet there is nothing you can do. You must accept their gift of failure to you and move on. if you continue to carry the righteous indignation that comes with having no justice then you simply eat yourself alive. This can go on for years, unless you realize that there is no justice. Your brother will not come forward and stand up for you. If you are lucky, perhaps a parent will be wise enough to see the injustice. But for the most part the true injustices that we deal with are subtle. Our failures were dished out to us with coffee spoons. Yet failures we received anyway.

At first you will walk the earth and punish yourself. This is the trouble. Someone must be punished. The person who placed the failure upon you will not be punished since there is no justice, so you decide to embrace this gift of failure. Obviously, someone wanted you gone, so you will go. Simple as that. Why not erase yourself from the master plan if this is what the world wishes? Who wants to be the uninvited guest? Nobody. But when you shoot your sights on yourself only you lose. You know who is to blame, but you cannot do anything about it. Of course, you could blow. You read about people doing this all the time. But it’s never worth it. If you blow and harm someone then you really are a faiilure.

No. What is needed is simple. Simply recognize that no justice is forthcoming. Your mother or father will not help you. Your friends and siblings do not understand. God? That’s a call for you to make, but God will be mostly silent, almost guaranteed, on the matter so don’t look for justice from on high. So where is justice? Where is the one thing that you need?

Accept the fact that there is no justice most of the time, that the losers win and the winners lose and hang their heads in shame forever. If you accept that there is no justice then you can move on. If it’s not there, it’s not there. You can’t get blood from a turnip or water from a stone.
