There is little justice-particularly for people who lack money. "Justice" is merely a notion unless made real by those empowered to do so. It is true that our justice system is the best in the world, yet it remains an imperfect system and, like each of us, must be a constant work in progress. All of us must continue to work on it - lest the vision of our founding fathers shall become a mere chimeric notion. We must also remember that everything that we do requires "sweat" and "mentorship!"

Injustice of Justice - Spiritual vignette

The toughest part about being a "fighter" is knowing when *NOT* to fight! So, as a fighter (with a name like Chionopoulos, I *had* to be tough), faith becomes the most important weapon. This is being discussed in "The Injustice of Justice" - which is a book and a work in progress.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. 7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. 9 For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land (emphasis added). Psalm 37

Perhaps we can all learn something from this - the wicked and the righteous alike!
