Is justice rendered or taken?
While the ignominy of working in an unfair world day-in and day-out haunts the human mind, the mind-set of the victimized and the oppressor are distinct. The victim is often seen as the entity willing to give-in and be harassed, is often on the receiving side and the oppressor is seen as the stronger of the two, whose might is unquestioned, who is fearless of consequences and has razor-sharp vision of what to accomplish for which no stone will be left unturned. Ruthless may be the oft used word.
But what is the psyche of the unseen participant-observer whose need is to objectively assess and recompense with the situation that is paramount to the preservation of the cause at hand? How many of us faced with such a situation have abstained from forming opinions OR have taken sides and been partisan often compelled by our own fears of being alienated and fading into oblivion? How many of us chosen to wait for justice and how many have gone ahead and done what was due/just? Is justice rendered or taken?
Dude, if you're here and blank, dont blame me. This was written in a fit of emotional turbulence and it perhaps needs similar experience to empathise.
Have a great day !
