Every time I would see people who are abused, who are fooled and made as though they are possessions of others, I would feel uncomfortable and agitated. Yes, I cannot look at injustice, much less tolerate the abuses of the powerful, to the extent of demeaning the lives of the oppressed, the downtrodden, and the exploited.
I have always believed in the equality of men. I have always resigned to the idea that we are created to be in harmony with each other. I have always thought that utopia is possible on earth. I guess that is the ideal- and the ideal is far from the concept of reality on earth. Yet, I strive at least to be fair in dealing with people around me; to make sure that I abuse and use no one for my own gain, but to be selfless and altruistic at all times, and sacrificial if necessary.

There goes my idealism of how people should be. Yet, my disillusionment troubles me as I find myself seeing no concept of fairness and integrity even for a day. How in the world should I act when I see others take advantage of the weaknesses of their fellows? How do I help the ones who are fighting for what is TRUE AND RIGHT? Maybe I got no power on earth to change and rehabilitate the tarnished system of the fools. Yet, I find myself a fool as well for tolerating what has to be stopped. Then I find myself breathing the air of the antagonists. I can't let this continue. At least that's what I say to myself. But my heart breaks when I can't do anything to help.....when help is all we need to aid our friends.
I find myself convincing and believing in theodicy. Alas! that is all I've got to calm my anguished spirit! No one has the monopoly of life. My dry bones will attest even to this truth. But till my fellows are freed and are living the life they are meant to live and enjoy, I'll look no further to help their ailing souls. I am here. God will deliver. I will not fear. My soul will argue with the wicked and the God of angel armies will uphold righteousness and make sure that in the creation order, THE GOOD WILL ALWAYS TRIUMPH OVER EVIL!
