Injustice

It’s in the eye of the beholder right?

Whether it’s religion, politics, money or status in society we all have a perception of the injustice that’s bestowed upon us.

We rarely think of the injustice that’s been bestowed on others, nations or communities.

We have a saying at home;
‘If you believe that others are thinking about you, think again’.

We do have to only think of ourselves, nobody will spend the time thinking about us. Even if we perform charity work we are meeting a need inside of ourselves. It’s called survival. We do things to survive the hardships we experience, whether physical or emotional, we experience them as some sort of injustice by society.

And they say we are the creators of our own reality, we create our reality one thought at a time.

If that’s the case why do we believe there’s an injustice being bestowed upon us? It could be your family, your employer or the state and I guarantee you that you believe the injustices that exist around you are directed at you.

That very belief, that directed thinking is what holds us back.

Happy thinking!
