Would you rather..

[The Initiator huru]

Would you rather be wrong with a group of people or be right alone?

Let’s unpack that question.

right alone, I always stand for what I believe

[Smart911]

I would rather be right alone...

... and believe what i believe...

I sense stupidity in both cases, i would rather not be stupid.

Let's unpack this further:
Would you rather die with a group of people for justice or would you rather live alone and turn your back to be richly rewarded? 🤔

What is justice?

You are stupid.

 

[mazojms]

You are stupid.

If u think iam, then u think poorly.

What is justice?

It is to do unto others as you'd expect unto you..to judge with fairness..to hold to account with equal measure regardless

If you expect wrongly that someone will kill you, and you kill them, is that justice?

If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right

 

[gambanjeli]

It feels pleasing to be wrong with the group of people rather than alone.

Be right alone is stressful.

Yes it is stressful but it yields dividends to many from the outcome of the destressed. Mandela was destressed but endured and South Africa was freed from apartheid.

It depends on various circumstances. One may be doing the right thing in front of others which is not right for them. Also, one may do something right for them but wrong in front of others.

So it's better to stand up for what is right for you. But remember, what one thinks is right is not always the same as what others think is right.

Be right in the right context

 

[Volatility]

It is very dangerous do be right all the time.

Each circumstance stands a unit of it own and judged as such. Can 66 be 99 in the same circumstance? So judge each circumstance as its own equation

One circumstance can be judged differently among different people's points of view because everyone has their own perspective and particular way of thinking about something.

That's why I said, it's better to stand up for what is right for you. But at the same time, what one thinks is right is not always the same as what others think is right.

If you expect wrongly that someone will kill you, and you kill them, is that justice?

As long as I'm not dead by their hand, I will also expect I maybe wrong, in retrospect. Would you expect otherwise?

So, is your definition of justice lacking?

 

[SueIsmael]

So, is your definition of justice lacking?

My understanding of justice is growing but my basis remains firm..."do unto others as you'd wish/expect unto your own"

 

[Kiranga]

My understanding of justice is growing but my basis remains firm..."do unto others as you'd wish/expect unto your own"

That rule is based on reciprocity, not justice.

Justice is not mere reciprocity.
