Justice and its price II

Can all the weight of society be tied to a mere idea? collective consciousness to raise the human monster? The invisible essence of justice, as I said before, controls even the most great injustices.

Because we lie to ourselves, we deceive ourselves, because life is simpler, more tolerable with a lie. We are righteous, or so we believe, we are the ones the Lord promised to satisfy, we are the eyes God in the earthly jungle. We, the righteous, are the defenders of all that is good, or so we want to believe.

Because a lie is pious when it makes the pain more bearable, but pity is still a mirage. Fraud, despite having goodness in it, is still fraud. The lie multiplies, it is instilled in us at birth. concepts of justice they are older than time itself, because we like to categorize.

Putting everything around you into boxes, good goes with good, bad goes with bad. But we are imperfect beings, we are individuals who fail more than succeed. No matter how much work, no matter how much writing, no matter how many laws are passed, injustice remains in us because what is fairer than helping ourselves?

There is the seed of blindness, it is the beginning of a lie, how can something that helps me be unjust? How can I, an honest person, be unjust in my actions? If I’m doing this to help my family, save my company, achieve my dream, how can that be unfair?, you ask. That’s the main part the illusion of justice. Believing that good opposes evil, but good and evil are two separate entities, two universes that are not connected. We love to live under the spell of this fantasy so much that we get entangled in stories, fairy tales and parables that reveal the ecstasy of the life of “justice”.

These ideas sneak into the thickest layers long civilized gown. State it must be fair, it must be fair, because if it is not fair, then it is not a state.

But The state is not fair, it is not fair to everyoneit is what we do not see, it is what we hide. State machine It is an entity that exacts its own justice and charges something more than your money. Because justice costs and it costs a lot. And that is that I don’t want this to be taken as anarchist gossip, but that it must be read as a mere observation of what the idea of ​​justice actually is. because the value what we consider fair is marked with an even higher price.
