Description

Justice
The smoke that was seen in the dream is now rising!
Everywhere the dream of justice just appears again. But this dream is blurred, full of smoke, the wet breath of death is coming close to us now.
What exactly is "justice", please?
There I saw black, acrid smoke rising to the sky, the smell of revolution is in the air!
"Left" against "right", "up" against "down", everyone against everyone, without realizing that life is at best only a dream, actually a dream within a dream, according to Buddha therefore less than NOTHING.
"Justice" for what, for whom?
Two soldiers go to war, only one comes back, is that justice?
Two women have a child, one child dies, is that fair?
Two people play the lottery, only one wins, is that fair?
Two men have an accident together, one loses his leg, is that fair?
Life is not fair at all!
The most unjust peace is still better than the most just war.
- Marcus Tullius Cicero - Roman politician - 106 to 43 B.C.
But right now the signs are pointing to war, a mass of the dead will be at the end of the war, once again, as so often before.
Do you see the smoke rising?
The great Carthage fought three wars. After the first, it was still powerful. After the second, it was still habitable. After the third, it was no longer to be found
- Bertolt Brecht - German playwright - 1989 to 1956
He who does not know the truth is merely a fool. But he who knows it and calls it a lie is a criminal
- also Bertolt Brecht
So, "justice" for what, for whom?
I, for one, do NOT need anyone to speak for me!
Smoke is in the air, disguised as "justice"!
I am not sure with which weapons the third world war will be fought, but in the fourth world war they will fight with sticks and stones
- Albert Einstein - German physicist - 1879 to 1955
