“Justice is good in its own right and makes life among other people more dependable. Yet Stern accepted long ago that even perfect justice will not change who we are. The law is erected on many fictions and perhaps the falsest one of all is that humans, in the end, are rational. Without doubt, our life--so far as we can tell--is one of cause and effect. That is what science depends on. But our most intimate decisions are rarely based on the kinds of calculations of pluses and minuses Jeremy Bentham, or the free-market economists for that matter, have wanted to believe in. We are fundamentally emotional creatures. In the most consequential matters, we answer faithfully to the heart's cry, not the law's.”

“Justice is not a hashtag.”
Source: Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission
“Justice is not a hashtag (The Sonnet)
Using a hashtag doesn't make you an activist,
Social media trend is not herald of social justice.
Justice comes when each lives with accountability,
Not when you play pretend justice because it is trendy.
A true activist spends their life working for others,
Occasionally they indulge in some self-charging activity.
Insta-activists spend their life drooling for attention,
Humanitarian crisis is just an opportunity for publicity.
Human rights violation is just a hashtag for most,
So they keep up with the trend by voicing phony endorsement.
Once the trend fades 99 percent of those voices disappear,
Until the next crisis comes, and the vultures hover again.
Violation of human rights is only violation if it is trending.
Society that measures social justice by social media trend,
is nothing but a bunch of hypocritical, bottom-licking ding-a-ling.”

As an elected official, I know that fighting for what is just is not always popular but it is necessary; that is the real challenge that public servants face and it is where courage counts the most. Without courage, our action or inaction results in suffering of the few and injustice for all.”
“Justice is not balance—it is restoration.”
