Good day!

I am Shanna Dawn Patecion, a fellow from the mystical Islands of Dinagat, a


2nd year Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering student. My sincere greetings to Mr. Johnny
Bolonggaita, our instructor for this subject for the section k1.
Justice means, when it serves what we want. Cliché, but this has been how I visualize
what justice is. When someone takes advantage of one’s goodness, people take it as an
exploitation of one’s goodness and is not morally good anymore. Getting back to someone who
hurt us, giving them the same pain they gave you is how people perceive justice. But, this
system of justice that we are taught of, is this morally right at all? is this how really justice looks
like, or we just call it justice because it resulted to something that desire to happen in the first
place.
Fairness can be exhibited, just as how the society trained us, is equalizing the same
intensity of pain, happiness, money, property and even safety and security. Justice, in its broadest
definition, is behavior that complies with the standards of any law. Some think that justice is
derived from God's will or word, while others believe that justice is inherent in nature. Others
believe that justice consists of universally applicable norms that come from some form of
consensus. This type of justice is frequently regarded as being superior to a society's legal
system. We are more prone to label an activity as "unjust" when it appears to contravene some
universal norm of behaviour. Fairness-conscious parties usually try to come up with something
comfortable and implement methods that imitate game rules. They seek to guarantee that
everyone gets their "fair share" of benefits and responsibilities, and that everyone follows a "fair
play" system.
People frequently interpret justice concerns in terms of fairness, and they cite justice and
fairness principles to explain their pleasure or unhappiness with the organizations they belong
to, applied it to any situations they think is unfair for them, uses these social norms as the basis
for justice to turn one situation in favor with what they originally wanted.
Justice in this current type of society is sometimes super romanticized that even the
misfortunes of somebody is taken as the karma, took it as punishment from above to indorse
fairness. Which is sad, some gets to laugh to some’s anguish because as they say, they finally get
to witness the so-called karma. We often ask the deities why some get to enjoy life to the fullest
while some of us is still here, struggling with endless deadlines, endless list of things you have
been wanting to do since but many aspects of your life says otherwise. I, myself, also thinks this
is unfair. But, to fully understand, to look at the positive side and take it in another point of view,
we may lack in some certain aspects in life but, what we have right now is enough. That itself,
having a self-satisfaction in which aspirations are, slowly, yet constantly have been achieved.
Some discerns justice as to provide equity, to end and come to a fair outcome. Which
could mean that if the poor should be rich, have money then it may mean that the rich should be
poor. Us, people, can never get the kind of justice we are taught if we do not obtain self-
contentment. We tend to questions everything and asks why do we lack things that other people
have. We take it as unfair if others are given greater things, bigger things that is more than what
is given to us which is wrong.
For instance, justice in the legal system does not always take the side of the poor, the
wounded and we take that as unfair and unjust because the moral justice inside us tend to let our
emotion run our rationality and see them as the victim. Moral justice does not speaks from logics
but plain emotions.
To conclude, yes, justice is perceived as justice only when we gget to have the outcome
we thought is just. Which is not always right, legal and moral justice should be completely
classified and one should focus to this one thing, justice does not always go the way you wanted
it to be.
