It’s Wednesday. This morning we have a 90 minute in home massage to break up more of the post surgery scar tissue that still inhibits the use of our left shoulder. In preparation Fearsome desired a word to contemplate while receiving said massage. A contemplation as a meditation so to speak.
Due to recent news and circumstances, a word that came to mind and resonated with both of us this morning just happened to be:
Justice…
…according to The Oxford English Dictionary can be defined as…
noun
1.
just behavior or treatment.
“a concern for justice, peace, and genuine respect for people”
synonyms: fairness, justness, fair play, fair-mindedness, equity, evenhandedness, impartiality, objectivity, neutrality, disinterestedness, honesty, righteousness, morals, morality
“I appealed to his sense of justice”
So we post this contemplation as a place for us to look back and remember where we were and what was important to us this day. We also share it as it may be a contemplation that one of you dear readers may also enjoy this day.
A wise man once said…
RIGHT ON, MLK! as true today as when you first said it.
My favourite quotation about justice is:
“If you want peace, work for justice.”
I always liked, “Justice is truth in action. GIven the current climate of alternative facts, the resistance will have to work harder for justice.
Half of the people that go into a court room on a contested matter, are going to be unhappy with the outcome, that does not make the outcome wrong, or the judge incompetent, it is simply how the world works. A simple concept that is apparently not taught at Trump University.
