so one man breaks the law, gets away with it, and it's unfair
another man breaks the law, gets away with it, and it's okay?
that's the problem with the whole "unfair" mindset
who ultimately gets to decide what IS fair?
Whether or not my actions are approved or not is not really an important matter in my opinion, nor do I particularly care - I did what I believed was needed to be done ....was slashing the guys tyres a smart thing to do? Most certainly not - did I believe the guy deserved it? You damn well bet I did...and I dont regret it at all. I have mixed feelings about the law and the justice system - far too much to write down, but let's just say that I am quite prepared to break the law (to an extent) if I feel those laws fail to protect or to fulfill their purpose - or are simply stupid laws to begin with. I have committed one stupid act that I do regret - and I have been arrested twice - and those arrests were not crimes committed out of malice that have hurt other people on purpose - they are crimes because the state has failed to serve its people correctly or it has made everyday people a criminal simply because it goes against the moral judgement of who ever is in charge at any given moment.
but you do bring up an interesting point. I sometimes feel that those in authority are mere puppets.... they get told what to do without really thinking for themselves. Who decides what is right or wrong? Who makes up the rules? What if I dont like the rules? Does that mean I have to obey them? Every single reasonably minded person on this planet believes that their judgement is sound, that what they believe is the right way to do things - including myself. So yes - it is all subjective.
I believe the "unfair" mindset is within all of us - because we all have our own agenda. No one can be completely neutral all the time - I just don't see it that way. Yeah - I probably am putting myself on a bit of a pedestal, but you know what - sometimes I think a bit of vigilantism is just whats needed.
Btw - Weirdy.... that really sucks. Your stories just flabbergast me sometimes.. which makes me want to write a bit more, but not right now. I have some thoughts on sexual harassment myself.
