equity.

My friend and I got into a little misunderstanding because according to our other friend I was too much of righteous jerk and she a selfish bitch. What was actually funny about this is that we fought over a yakult bottle. I was telling her to pick up the bottle which fell to the floor of the first floor tenants because it was her bottle and that it is unfair for the person downstairs to have to clean somebody else's mess. She said that she didn't deliberately wanted to inconvenienced anyone and that the wind blew the bottle. It was on her part a fortuitous event. I told her that regardless of what her intention was the fact was that she had inconvenienced someone and she has to do something about it. She on the other hand couldn't understand why she had to go to so much trouble when she didn't deliberately wanted to inconvenienced anyone. And she said it was a little bottle, it wouldn't even count as a mess, it was a small litter in their floor. And then I asked her if she wanted to clean somebody else's mess, what if that happened to her instead? wouldn't she want the one who threw it pick it up and clean her floor?
And she just said I shouldn't lecture her, she have other important things to argue and think about. I was so disappointed with her.

‘In the beginning, there was only a small amount of injustice abroad in the world, but everyone who came afterwards added their portion, always thinking that it was only very small and unimportant, and look where we have ended up today.’

Sometimes I wonder why there are people who would want to add more injustice to a world already overflowing with it.
Everyday I came across people who would deliberately do things that they know would amount to an imbalance, a shift in equity or a tilt in the wrong end of justice.
We see it in the news everyday. Updates on plunder cases, robbery, theft and other complicated crimes that are all rooted in greed and selfishness.
Even worse is that the very same people who prosecute are also the perpetrators.
We are conscious of all these things and yet we still choose to add to them perhaps because it is the easier thing to do. For who would want to be just when you're dealing with people who are all selfish and unjust right? Better to take than to have things always taken from you. We all have to look after ourselves.
And I suppose that is how most of the people in this world think.



But I refused to believe that we are a corrupted race. I know that some people out there think differently. Some still believe in equity.
