Justice!

“No light can compare with the light of justice. The establishment of order in the world and the tranquillity of the nations depend upon it.”

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”  — Martin Luther King, Jr.

Imagine a house that has been built partially strong and proper, and partially weak and frail. Would such a house stay intact and strong? Would such a house be a reliable place to live? The society is the greater house, and any unjust act impairs its foundation and causes disorder. Even if the injustices are not directly affecting us, the effects of the injustices impact everyone’s prosperity and well-being. In order to live in a flourishing and tranquil world, we should constantly be concerned with the promotion of justice through our deeds, words and thoughts.
