    What is justice?

    There are two justices. social justice and personal justice and they are never the same.

    social justice is the light that shines on the truth of the people.

    personal justice is the personal truth that exposes our inner darkness.

    example: a rapist is caught, tried, convicted, and sentenced to prison. the victims want the rapist to suffer as they suffered. nothing wrong with this, but certainly displays a darkness we often hide.

    What are you willing to sacrifice for broad accountability?

    my freedom, whatever that’s worth these days.

    Are you free?

    is a pig free?

    Is oppression ever warranted?

    yes. oppress the oppressors.

    Are you willing to become inconvenienced for the truth?

    is there any other way?

    How far will you go?

    as far as my spite will carry me.
