Injustice
What prompted me to think about this about two days ago, was my mom's account about the newly admitted Indonesian girl patient at her hospital who came for treatment. Robbers had climbed into her home through the window and demanded for money. Her grandmother had helplessly given them everything, finding for all that they wanted in the house. Then the robbers noticed the girl and then they assulted her... ignoring that they were ruining the life of this twelve year old, ignoring that they were doing it in front of her own grandmother, ignoring that they were doing it in her own home. Argh.
It is very, very clear in the finite human perspective - life is not fair.
From what was given or not given at birth to the situations that chance upon individuals regardless of how bad a person they seemingly are - there doesn't seem to be any indicator that theres a force which is moderating the bad guys and policing the evilness. Be it a moral injustice, a personal injustice, an academic injustice - different degrees of intensity and importance towards humanity perhaps, but ultimately, we still don't like it.
It is betrayal. But betrayal on the level of something higher than an explict agreement - it is the betrayal of the ideals of our humanity. The betryal of the concepts which we recognise and respect as a person.
Injustice is ironically done by passing a flawed judgement onto something - thus mainfesting into a flawed action. But ultimately.. Perfect Judgement will be the one that will appease those flawed actions in the end.
And beautifully, by the Cross - it was the injustice itself that revealed the superiority of Justice and the clear indication of Hope that Justice will be served in His time.
"What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?" Pilate asked.
They all answered, "Crucify him!"
"Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"
All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"
Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
-- Matthew 27:22-26
