%JUSTICE 770111
Justice is realized by the power of loving suffering
servants. Self-seeking individuals cannot achieve the
impartiality which is essential to true justice. Those
who arrogate unto themselves power to control others,
lack the humility needed to intimately know the conditions
which call for justice. Those who are blinded by a
passionate desire to fulfill all techniques, are also
blinded to human cries for non-technical solutions to non-
technical problems; i.e, to dilemmas. Those who fear the
responsibility of directing great power are impotent to
answer the cries of those who seek justice. Those who
fear suffering cannot bring themselves to get genuinely
involved in the lives of those who are suffering
injustice---and so cannot know what justice demands of
them.
Justice cannot be computed on the basis of past
decisions alone. To attempt to do so is to invite the
continuation of past injustices as well as to travel by
the light of past loving fulfillments of the call for
justice from the powerful. The fulfillment of justice is
not a technical matter at heart, although technical
considerations may be an essential aspect of the way to
justice. Technocrats do not promote humane justice
because their narrow vision prevents them from being aware
of non-technical considerations. Their exclusive
preoccupation makes the legal profession the wrong
occupation for them --- it is full of their kind already,
and no more are needed. The legal profession is in need of
members who in a personal way know the meaning of love and
what it demands of justice and power. God is love.
Justice is related to justification. Through
Justification people are acceptable to each other and can
communicate with each other --- alienation is transcended.
Real justice helps transcend alienation by helping promote
social conditions which members of the society perceive to
be as fair as resource limitations permit. Formal
institutional procedures which promote alienation are not
just, no matter by what name they are called. Formal
institutional procedures tend to be technical procedures
to the exclusion of real personal relationships. The
exclusion of real love makes formal institutional
procedures impotent to answer cries for meaningful
justice.
Love, power, and justice are not separable.
