Human society is an aggregate of families comprising parents and children, husband and wife, brothers and sisters, and other relatives, immediate or distant. Its healthy and sound growth depends upon the just and equitable dispensation of rights and duties.
Societies may differ in their mode of life and behavior in relation to their habitat, environmental surrounding, consummation style and mode of locomotion, but one fact remains: each and every one is condemned to stand shoulder to shoulder to face the challenges of life.
What do we witness instead? The social fabrics are being staked. Day in day out, week after week dirty politics is standing as barriers between communities and races. Our youngsters who are the most vulnerable pay a high price for that. They lose their bearings. Anti-social behavior creeps in to give way to a wave of massive juvenile disturbance.
The principle of social justice is what forms the basis of a civilized society. Any imbalance has the potential of causing chaos. Despite every endeavour of schools to cultivate good habits, act of benevolence, pardon, kindness, mercy and the notion of fairness even in the most difficult situation, people happen to go beyond those teachings.
A just society thrives in a climate where compassion, generosity, sympathy, tolerance, respect, forgiveness, politeness, sincerity and loyalty are nurtured in the mind and heart of each and everyone. Absence of these may only lead to a nation where frustration, hostility and a culture of rights violation become the order of the day. And the blazing fire of jealousy, pride, arrogance, egoism, selfishness, hypocrisy and avarice come on the way to a peaceful living.
Society then ends its course in the abyss of rebellion, especially when rulers with bad instincts tend to create the two extremes, one who enjoys high life and the other who is left on their own.
That is why one should be ready by all means to bear the brunt and offer sacrifice to nurture generosity and the sense of justice in all spheres of life instead of relying on political power to avenge against others. Avenging has never been a definite solution to whatever ill.
