That rule is based on reciprocity, not justice.

Justice is not mere reciprocity.

I'd like to hear your take; what is justice?
As I noted, we endeavor to learn

 

[mazojms]

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 wrong for them but right 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.

The other name for "being right alone" is being stupid if not crazy.. consider a crazy person who thinks walking nacked is right, of coz kwa uelewa wake it is right and he can stand up and say "iam right" , because he is crazy.
If u think you are right and u can't convince people to agree with you, then bro kuna mahali dishi limeyumba.

Justice is an asymptotic illusion, to be pursued, but never attained.

For, even the very and mere pursuit of justice gets in the way of attaining it.

Kifo cha wengi ni harusi... On my side die with group of people is pleasing and satisfying.

. There is no satisfaction in death!

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

Let’s unpack that question.

The fact is, he has been wrong with a group for 20 years, he can't be right alone!

I disagree that justice is a mere illusion. There has to be a common sense of expected fairness in any civilization. This is why we have the natural order, we have rules and rights, boundaries and bridges.. I think the thin line lies in the pursuit of justice, as it may blur into vengeance..to be or not to be.

I must say, picking your brain has certainly been worth it.

It is certainly a pleasure to canvas the opinions of inquisitive minds. If you are struggling to define justice, I doubt you could ascertain much about it with a firm disposition.

Ideals are beautiful expressions of ambitious and lofty dreams, but they need not be realizable, that is what makes them beautiful, something to always aspire to.

Justice, truth, beauty, all these are relative terms.

This is why, the Saudis have a jurisprudence that beheads certain individuals for matters that, in the West, ought to be under the auspices of constitutional provisions and lofty pronouncements of human rights.

So one man's justice is another's grotesque violation of human rights.

How can you have a universal justice if the cultures - and inevitably jurisprudence, for jurisprudence is a product of culture- that made humanity are this vastly different?

Be right alone, remember to pray to your supreme being

Let’s unpack that question.

I would rather be right alone than be wrong with a group because in a group or in a "mass" of people, letter M in the word "mass" is silent hence we get "ass" of people.

A crazy person either walking naked or smashing windscreens suffers from mental illness like any sick person. There is treatment be it at Mirembe, Rutindi, Mawenzi or Muhimbili etc. Unfortunately our society continues to stigmatize these sick people. We brand them with derogatory and dehumanizing names and terminologies e.g. chizi, wenye madishi yaliyo yumba etc. Each one of us is a mental illness candidate. We need to put psycho-socio redress and humane characterization when talking or discussing people with mental illness. We have managed in the case of HIV/AIDS. The next desitigimatization front should be for people with mental illness. Let’s campaign for increased mental health services at all levels of our societies and administrative structures.

“No one is an island. Everybody is part of the continent. Therefore do not send to ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for you”(Arthur Donne, 18..)
There are some matters for which a man must stand alone. And many others where he must stand and be counted as part of the society.
Remember man is either a social animal or he is not a man at all.
Hey, I confess this a helluva lot of a tough question. Makes one contradict their own premises. Let me give it some thought and I might just come back!
