“JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.”
Throw away the incentive cause biases and behaviors. Be accountable for what you do.
Have you injured others on this planet? Yes. Should we? No.
In our jobs, consumption choices, and culturural behaviors, we can ask ourselves if we are doing harm to others or to our planet.
Many shrug off the responsibility, saying that is not in my hands. I disagree.
What can we do about justice? Do you eat once a day? Do you consume energy daily? If so, you have a responsibility and the opportunity for justice. Most of the time, I purchase and don't think of the supply chains.
By sitting on my rear am I doing my part for the future? No.
Some believe that the last election was rigged. Some yell that GMOs should be outlawed. Some scream that fracking for oil is the end of the environment and only justified to tap energy for reckless causes. Some say lab-based meat and insect proteins will solve our problems. Some wave the banner of grain-based ethanol.
Many have a hand in the cookie jar of incentives.
How can I apply justice?
Start at my back door.
Step out and look around. Don't look at the tree line, neighbors yard, or skyline down the road. Look at your feet. The joints that move you. Look with your eyes at the space just outside of your door.
What could be produced there?
Don't give your dollar energy to the "profits" of doom. Those weeds are the justice that YOU have control of.
You don't need the county, district, or supreme court meetings to validate your justice. You start by being your own hangman. You start with your posse. Your bullets and your rope. You starve the oxygen of currency from those that are killing you and others. You move pennies away from the encoaching salesmen into your yard, community, and state one barcode at a time. Beep. Beep. Beep.
You don't wake up one day with cancer. The cells started years ago. If you want justice, start with yourself by "omitting the benefits that are YOUR DUTY". Start at your back door. You have control of that.
You can kill the cancerous cells of injustice by applying Poor Richards's 8th virtue. Justice. Eliminate incentives.
