Of justice and other fables
There is no deception more effective than our hopes and dreams. But we keep dreaming.
by Carolina Vásquez Araya: The desire to pursue a precise, unfailing and humane formula to deliver justice - in any order of life - has to cross an alley full of threats, ambitions and top secret agreements. The result cannot be more than a skewed sanction for the benefit of whoever has the best weapons. It does not refer only to the highest levels of the administration of justice. This path through which we grope our way begins at home and continues without pause through school, social life, the workplace and any space where we develop any activity.
The concept of justice is universal and determines the application of a moral principle that governs the application of law, based on truth, to give everyone what is due. It is a norm supported by four fundamental columns: equity, equality, impartiality and freedom. When we take a look at the systems created by the political instances, under whose principles the codes are established and the structure and those in charge who will manage their compliance are defined, these columns have lost their strength to be replaced by four others: ambition, power, discrimination, racism. From this table, it can be seen how much that distorted vision of the value of truth influences personal life in the apparently simple fact of giving everyone what is due.
During the first years of life - a human being is able to retain in his memory experiences from an early age - the attitude of parents towards their daughters and sons is capable of imprinting a form of behavior and a perspective on the truth and, as a consequence, on the consequences of their actions. From there begins the confrontation of a new being with the concept of justice, a learning that will remain throughout his life.

There is no space in the development of existence where an individual does not face a decision of that nature and, each time that happens, something changes in the perception of what we consider fair. However, we frequently take for granted the relevance of decisions that affect not only our immediate environment, but also large human conglomerates whose lives are endangered, under the protection of laws emanating from instances supposed to respect the aforementioned principles of equity, equality, fairness and freedom.
It is then when it is necessary to unwind the skein and look for the beginning of the thread, to understand when the law and justice twisted their way to dedicate themselves to benefit a privileged sector of the human species. An example is the intricate fabric of the rules on the basis of which international trade and the protection of trademarks and patents are developed, whose interests are even above the autonomy of the countries or, not to go too far, the laws that regulate and determine - from aseptic official offices and oblivious to human pain - the destiny of millions of migrants who seek, nothing more and nothing less, to survive.
There is no greater disappointment than an unfair decision, whether at home, school, work environment or in any personal relationship. However, there is no one who has not gone through the experience at some point in his life. But that this unfair decision comes from a body in charge of administering the application of the laws - whose sentence has a definitive weight - is a much harder blow. We are in times of deep crisis, where truth is a negotiable good and impartiality a distant utopia. It is a time in which equality ceased to be a value to become a privilege and freedom is nothing more than a beautiful word to print on a banner.
The truth has ceased to be a value to become a utopia.
Words of wonder...
