Juicestice

 “Have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity where some people are held responsible for things before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today?” – Thomas Sowell, Harvard Economist

Mr. Sowell:

 

Karma is a natural occurrence.  It requires no human authority. It is no ones job to “hold someone responsible.”  There are various types of authorities on humans.  There are material authorities—most of which are despotic and coercive in nature.  And there are liberal governments that are more fair and are always more minimal.  And involve due process and individual rights.  Do you want to diverge from a libertarian state?  Do you want a theocracy of some kind?  

 

Any time humans have power they abuse it.  Or use it for their own ends.  In fact, a human authority on the spiritual will just exacerbate it.  If you are trying to enforce karma, either through authority or tyranny of the majority, you are playing god.  You are not god.  There are even some gods, as it were, who are not good.  But there is a god over them.  If you actually want justice, a big god will take care of it—guaranteed.  It seems you and many others like you are very preoccupied with some type of justice.  Maybe I have the wrong word.  Maybe it is guilt.  Maybe it is juicestice.  I don’t know. 

 

All you need to concern yourself with is yourself and your own karma; or circumstances; or labors; or spirituality—and how you treat others.  If you are a philosopher or practice any 'ology,' hopefully you are well versed and well studied and have zero agenda.  

 

If you concern yourself with the political or the spiritual, you are meddling in the spiritual.  You better know exactly what you are doing.  With great wisdom and benevolence.  Not merely great power or authority. 

 

And, again, if justice is what you are looking or, you will get it.  But I don’t think you want that.  Perhaps that is what you are trying to avoid.
