It is to the benefit of our society for every person in our society to reach his/her full potential, prosper in their “pursuit of happiness” and thereby contribute to our society. This helps us form “a more perfect union”. This flow can be and is interrupted by greed, lust and power of individuals and groups. All of us, especially leaders, must constantly resist this corruption.
“Justice for all” refers even more to justice in society than it does to justice in our courts of law. This is because overall justice encompasses all of our society – everything we do. Some believe that scrambling up the ladder of success, stepping on others to get ahead, is acceptable. Others believe that when they have found their success they must protect it by suppressing others. These tactics are unfair and unjust. They are jungle tactics that create fear, hate, resentment and war. Helping others to reach their full potential in life is the greatest success one can ever have.
This lifting of others and helping them reach their full potential must be our “new normal”. It is fair. It is right. It is psychologically, financially and morally rewarding and it is in accordance with God’s will and man’s ethics. Let us take this time of the COVID-19 crisis to readjust our focus to real “justice for all”.
