"We are group of concerned citizens that have recognized an injustice in the system."
It is 11:24 and I have just returned home from working with a client. HP posted an article that continues to surface in the plight of women, girls and injustice in the balance of the Scale-- we know as Justice.
One can debate what is right or wrong according to the rule of law, but what cannot be disputed is the fundamental understanding of human nature's moral compass.
We don't resist government as a people for the sake of resisting government. With the proper infrastructure, accountability and commitment, a governing body can be very effective. There is no reason be stand against corporations, if they are guided by the same standards and expectation that individuals are suppose to be held to. What then is the problem?
Exceptions!
Exceptions interfere with consistency and continuity. A claim is made about right or wrong; positions are taken on behalf of interest... But who's interest. Sure our founding bodies that created the Constitution had ideals in mind that would protect the well being of individuals, however corruption and currency got in the way and forever changed our destiny.
So at this cross roads what do we do? We could minimize years of fabricated and/ or real conflict and get at the root of such disharmony by rethinking about how we look at more effective ways to meet the needs of the general population. From redistribution of wealth to people friendly policies (so as not to get conflicted with social policies). We are the People; and the only entitlement we deserve is a society based on egalitarian structures that rectify the imbalances of greed and secularism.
Liberate justice, not in the form of retaliation but restoring balance and accountability. Is government is off kilter? Yes.
Can it be fixed? Yes. But the road to redemption is a long one. This oration is not a depiction of religious discourse, but that of the moral compass of man kind.
Fix what is wrong as leaders, not to control or punish but to bring back the balance to a scale that has long remained uncalibrated and diminishing in purpose and meaning.
" I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice." (Theodore Parker; wikipedia)

Zen at 304
What is Zen, and how do you achieve it?
Zen is not something you pursue, Zen is an enigma yet ubiquitous, it will find when it is time for you (i.e. the current [flow] in which things occur).
It is a point at which you arrive in your own life; you learn to understand that nothing has dominion over you, not even nothing. Zen is about peace, balance, but not to achieve those things- it is more like being those things.
Allow yourself to be in the joy of your struggle; if you believe something to be so and it is not, accept it not being so; you are not wrong; it is only that what was to be, was different that what might have been so.
When you arrive you will see it is more a state of being rather than any form of attainment-- this is the what is around you; you become an observatory where each of your actions reveals a new layer of understanding. You stop with yourself, and in each moment you, accept/ reject, and uncalibrate what has been ordered in your life. There is no order in Zen, in some respects, one should not follow Zen, the mere act of doing so rejects Zen.
Enjoy Life; Balance all things; Come into yourself; Breathe the gift of the human experience; Allow expectations to escape- un-expect; Fear is nothing and what is, is everything- but do not want for it. Detach and allow yourself to be unconsumed by all things- then observe them.
