What’s still fair in this world?

We’re all people. We’re supposed to be individualities, we’re encouraged to be different and think differently but in the end nothing ever matters.

Why do they blame you for not thinking like them when we’re supposed to be different?

Why do they think we’re worthless if we don’t have the same principles that rule our life?

How do they dare shout at you, make you lower your head in front of them only because of that?

Who are they? A bunch of people without any ideas who can’t even make a distinction between light and darkness.

Still….the only thing they can do is look at us and see us as some hypocrites, think we’re arrogant and eccentric.

Then what does this make them? Ignorant?

But how can they be so ignorant? …Ignorant when it comes to the others, ignorant of the world but mostly even ignorant when it comes to their own needs.

How can someone that cares more about the others than about themselves still survive in this kind of world?

They just run over your feelings without even caring and none of them actually stops to pick them up and shake of the dirt and the pain.

No one tries to understand not even their own needs and desires, let alone the other’s.

Why?

Why is the world so indifferent nowadays?

It may be because people’s hearts have changed, then again it may be because of money and interest, not to mention the great proportion of stupidity but still….smart, stupid, ignorant or intelligent we’re still humans, why treat the others like they don’t even exist or committed the worst sin of their lives when you yourself don’t know if you’re just or unjust?

How is the other’s sufferance making you feel better?

What happened to honesty?

Might have disappeared a long time ago…then again Plato’s brother, Glaucon represents the sophist conception when saying: “No one’s just by nature but only obliged by fear of the law.”

I wonder…is that really true?

Not at all. 

He proposes an experiment…starting from the story of the lydian shepherd Gyges who after an earthquake finds a ring that makes him invisible…he uses it to concentrate  all the power of the estate in his hands.

The experiment uses a just man and an unjust one. Supposing we have two rings of that kind and give one to the just man and the other to the unjust man he says that we’ll notice both of them will have the tendency to do bad. Therefore he arrives at his thesis.

But I wonder….are we all blinded by power? Is there no one left who cares about people or about those who care about them? Won’t there be any one of us who’ll say: “Thank you, but I don’t want to be invisible!” ?

I want to believe there are. I want that hope and I won’t let it die because I’m one of those who care about people even though it generally means I suffer all the time.

Plato disagrees with his brother and believes  that justice is a virtue. A man can be just and a society can also be just.

In a world where we’re all different…isn’t justice a virtue in the ethics domain?

I think so.

And we need more people like this.

On the other hand…just like Eugène Inoesco once said…”Don’t be afraid to be one of the few who think differently because one day…you can never know how the minority can become a majority, just believe and have the courage to be yourself.”

Courage,

Dignity,

Honor,

Honesty…

Each and every one of them can become a virtue, because they’re dictated by reason.

Human soul has three parts : the rational part, instinctual part and appetent part.

Moral is that the rational part rules the other too even though they occupy the biggest part of the soul.

Seems that nowadays it became really difficult to dominate the others…

It can’t be impossible though…

We’ll wait and see.
