A Mighty Pen

The document discusses the need for justification and wisdom in resolving issues and conflicts. It argues that lack of proper justification often leads to outrage and loss of confidence in the system. While many conflicts are fought in the name of religion or gods, the document states that holy books do not actually promote violence - it is humans who perceive things in a limited form. It calls for erasing the "dark footsteps of ignorance" through human qualities like kindness, empathy and wisdom. Rather than focusing on justice, it says the path forward is through humanity which includes altruism towards individuals. The document concludes by advocating for harmony and brotherhood over reducing chaos.

‘My’ Mighty pen!

'Judgment' has been personified and exemplified as a woman. SHAKESPEARE says this woman
has fled to crude, heartless, beasts ....animals who are incapable of subtlety and refined ways. The
subject of the current discussion is not a new one to our ears but which we always feel foreign to
justify exactly. Gandhi personified a new way of the justification and is praised. But the times have
changed. These days, we’re facing a lot of obstacles in getting a verdict about a small issue. So, it’s
quite common to lose confidence and result in outrage. People should idolize their god in living in
harmony, peace and fraternity rather than fighting for everything. And the first illustration that strikes
in everybody’s mind is the ‘Ayodhya holy land jeopardy’. I consider it no more holy as it’s soaked in
mud. No one’s fault neither a particular community’s can be explicitly be pointed out. A old so called
philosopher might quote that it’s the common human nature. Well, would you agree that? Of course,
no!! I define the ‘Human Nature’ as a distinct one which has power has to justify and its decision
maintains unity and the qualities that distinguish us from animals.

Glorious mankind’s history, magnificent past of humanity, many


inventions that can’t even dream of, hearts of kindness and power to create
anything we need. If all these divine characteristics is like a glass of sacred
milk but when you catch a glimpse of humans in your brain which is of the
same kind, it’s seems to be ugly witch casting wicked spells making her
fellows sick and driving them into woe. So, there’s poison in this sacred milk
and that’s the lack of justification with wisdom. Even though it’s a drop, it’s
ruining the very essence of the milk. Many of the fights were in the name of religion or a particular
God. Is the religion blood thirsty? Or is it the God? Well, the answer is quite clear and it’s a “NO”. Why
can’t we grasp and digest this simple fact? Are we unaware that our holy books don’t imbibe the
violence? And it’s just us who perceive the things in such a crippled form.

So, the path that has dark footsteps of ignorance that’s been disguised as evil have to be erased
and it can be done only through the light bearing features of humanity like kindness, empathy,
wisdom etc. I didn’t state that justice is the way but rather I said its humanity. Because,  humanity
differs from justice in that there is a level of altruism towards individuals included in
humanity more so than the fairness found in justice. So far, we assumed the entire world to
be either “me-centered” or “me-decentered” i.e. the first referring to the notion that I’m
entirely responsible for everything that’s happening around me while the latter referring to
the notion that I’m just pawn who’s been played by the fate. Well, after we’ve reached this
far in this discussion, what’s opinion among the two mentioned faces of a person? The
answer might be a typical one but I prefer to see the world as “universal” where it’s not just
a single person’ puppet show.

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye
may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the
evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”

Reducing chaos is not the way but harmony and brotherhood is.
