    All ideas are abstractions. Everything we create is an abstraction to begin with. Every idea is an abstraction at it's basis. The concept of justice is no different then any other idea or principle. The idea of treating everyone fairly and equally derives from the soul which says that we are all created equally and thus deserve fair treatment. Justice, is not just an abstraction alone, although its foundation is in abstraction. It is a knowing within the human soul, that anything but equality and equity is uncalled for and unjustifiable.

    I would say to you, that almost ALL of the problems that we face in this world are due to some form of injustice or perceive injustice. That makes a sense of justness and justice (the process of fairly and equitably solving differences) a common and universal trait in mankind and also, spiritually, in our knowing souls that we all were derived from and originated from the same loving Source. When we see those who are oppressed, unjustly treated, maligned, victimized, used, we know it is because there are forces and thinking in this world this is inconsistent with the truth of WHO WE REALLY ARE. That causes us to fight back, by whatever means...to get that justice, that equitable treatment or resolution.

    Like I said, all ideas are abstract to begin with. But our internal spiritual knowing is not abstract to our souls, it is crystal clear to each of us what justice means and the fact that each human being, regardless of who or what they are OR have done, deserve a just resolution.

    No, YOU defend it. Our responsibility is not to do your homework for you. In what way can you justify not doing what is expected of you?
