Sense of justice: our little LIES to ourselves Bashny.Net

From childhood we are trained to distinguish between two types of evil – external, event-driven and internal, psychological. The first evil is conventionally "bad" phenomenon. Second, our "natural" negative reaction to them – a feeling of anger.

"Bad" we call phenomena which we feel have no right to exist – that is, there are "illegal" and "should" be "justice" exterminated – and then you will be "good". Solid quotes.

In this sense evil is displaced and projected out. Say, with us-it's all right, only evil we observe and experience the renewed sense of "justice". And evil – there on the outside, with him, and then we need to understand.

In fact, "evil" always is a private experience feeling of anger. It is the intensity of this personal feeling is measured by the severity of the external events of "evil" in the world that says our caring, biased mind.





Including the so generated all sorts of forms of mass social psychosis of intolerance: racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia etc.

The war began when the wizards of some of the clan have announced another reality of evil. They showed themselves a movie about the other, and then pretended that it was news, brought themselves to arousal and started these other bomb.

I'm not saying that a sense of justice is generally some mistake, and just trying to look at it carefully, and to understand, what this feeling called. And almost always is an emotionally rich, strong, unconditional faith in the correct version of reality. A believer at the same time, like looking at the plans of the Creator, is adopted to judge – to show the world that ought to be present, and that is subject to mandatory correction or destruction.

 Filling sense of justice

Anger is not the only way to feel the unfairness of life. There is also resentment, envy, guilt is our mind rich in ways to resist what is happening.

Envy tells us that "in all fairness", we should have no less and no worse than the one whom we envy. Envy encourages "fair" to condemn and punish someone else's lack of restraint and looseness where we tie a battery arrest their "correct" behavior.

Resentment suggests that a person practicing a disadvantage for us the behavior must "in all fairness" to repent and begin to mend.

The guilt we experience when we observe the injustice this time for my own actions. Wine tells me that we did "bad" and therefore lost the right to be loved. And that is the right to return "must", again, to repent and begin to mend. Even if it is impossible in principle, still "owe," because "justice" do not care if it required a change of the real soil.

In other words, what we sense of justice called – is not an independent unit of the emotional sphere, and a mixture of different experiences – often negative, but in his own eyes ennobled.

I do not claim that all kinds of reactions of a "sense of justice" – a solid "evil". Sometimes "justice" really makes it "sublime" and "noble" actions. But most often "justice" is covered by a personal, sometimes openly selfish benefit.

 

The universal "good"

The most insidious self-deception that the feeling of "justice" covers, the same trick of the mind, where personal, sometimes far from reality the claims of conviction are imposed under the guise of universal objective good. Such blind belief induces foaming at the mouth to prove to others how life should be.

That attitude is cruel arbitrariness suddenly becomes "liberation" crusade against the "infidels". And the award for "the crusaders" receive the forgiveness of all sins. Historical fact. So personal neuroses and accepted for sparkling clean coin.

It would have been much easier if there was indeed a unified and clear for all fairness it would be to argue about. But the rank of this great universal truth, we put up many small personal half-truths.

A sincere belief in the correctness may have each of the conflicting parties. It seems like everything is "right" and "fair", but can not agree, accept each other for aggressive opponents of truth and justice, condemn and punish for the difference in self-deception.

 

What should be the life

The injustice of the world is dumping the responsibility for their unrealistic expectations on the outside "to blame". Usually behind such irresponsibility is the refusal to recognize the quality of their own contribution in his own life.

This happens when deep down the person considers himself a weakling and a loser, unable to accept the challenge of life – for it condemns and hates. And on the surface, from internal conflict to hide, shifts the responsibility for "failures" with ourselves in the government, bosses, parents, partners, fate, the Almighty – any external force, which "prevented" happiness, or been obligated to make everything "fair" – that is to say to ensure the fulfillment of desires, but not satisfied, not provided.

Ideally, it is necessary to understand that no we did not have. But the good news is that we also don't owe anyone anything. To themselves or others. All – free goodwill. Understand how this slippery topic.





The truth is that we have no idea what should be the life. Or we can say that bitter for our out of touch aspirations of the truth – that everything is happening exactly as it should be. Because that's how life works – this is the natural course of things. No one and nothing else.

These ruthless to our expectations, the cold laws of life, perhaps, is the same for all justice, on which alone we can rely. Otherwise it is surprising how people have the nerve to go against the universal Holy justice – our little lies to ourselves.published
