Good and Evil – Age of Justice

As well as the concepts of good and evil, the concept of justice was also invented by us, I believe.

There is no God who demands justice of us. It is we who demand it.

As our intellects developed during those early ages, we forgot that we all are connected. We forgot that we are all one community. And for some reason we developed bitter rivalries with our neighbors as terrible as our fear and hatred of countries on the far side of the globe.

East Dillon High hates West Dillon High as much as they both hate Iran. Bomb them.

This separation evolved into terrible greed and terrible fear that there will not be enough for me. Today private citizens are worth more than most countries. They have more than they would need for a thousand lifetimes. And others of us go hungry.

We created a sophisticated justice system that imprisons criminals in privately owned prisons that need inmates to make profits. So the courts ensure that there are plenty of prisoners so the prisons don't go empty.

We misunderstand death and consider it a capital punishment. It is not. We live on. We struggle with mental illness and consider suicide an escape from it all. It is not. We live on.

We have developed mental illnesses unlike any time before because we have grown so separate. So alone. So fearful of our world.

We have built magnificent civilizations using slave labor. We have bought and sold our brothers and sisters.

When we are wronged, as victims we demand justice. We file lawsuits over property, boundaries, rights, wrongs, and the rest.

We have forgotten about forgiveness. We have forgotten about mercy. We have forgotten that we are all brothers and sisters. We are all one.

This terrible mess is all an illusion. Because in reality we are all one. We all will live forever.

I believe that during this century, the institutions, churches, governments who perpetuate this illusion of good and evil, of justice, of separation will fade.

And we will enter the Age of Love. The Age of Mercy and Forgiveness. The Age of Peace.

See you there.
