In the name of Justice

an eye for an eye, a teeth for a teeth

There is a famous quote by an indian hero, Mahatma Gandhi saying that an eye for an eye only to makes the whole world blind.  Gandhi stated this quote after the protest of indians towards British  Government in India resulted hundreds of protestants died. Gandhi saw there was no good results in protesting that involve violence. Hence, he fight the British government with his silent movements. fighting with violence will only bring you to the worse situation.

On the other hand, there was a manga that I read often, baby love by Ayumi Shina. I admire the character on this story. she was an elementary student with a motto an eye for an eye, a teeth for a teeth. All the things you do will get back to you; good deeds will bring good deeds and doing bad things will give you bad results in the future. It was simply that you will reap what you sow. It was her justice to make sure that everything will be fair and square.

But things in life wasn’t that simple. In the point of view of an elementary student, it was just right to do the right things so you will get a good results as a return.  As a child, it was  normal if your friend bother you or do something bad for you, you want to repay her or him with something bad also unless she or he say sorry. this happened not only because you were feeling bad about it, but also she or he made a mistakes. you should make them realise their mistakes in order to make the sorry about it. In the world of adulthood, everything in life was complicated. The good things we see on the outside can be seen as malicious threat, or the bad things can be treat like a good one.

There were a lot of things in the an adults eyes seem different in the eye of a child. people say that children tend to be honest and truthful while adults tend to consider opportunities and profits. 

what we value in our life as justice might be different for everyone. Hence, the rule to decide the right and wrong should be established. This was the role of the government to make sure the law was followed by the citizen. 

Gandhi that living his life in the colonialism  of the british, decided to fight for his country without violence, and a child like seara live her life with the value of truth and honesty. You don't have to be Gandhi and you don't need to be like Seara, the important thing is whatever the value of your life, live your life with dignity and make it meaningful.

** Personally I like some people with Seara like personality, one of them is Infinite Sunggyu. Sungyu likes things to be fair and square. He wasn't a child, He was 28 this year. I only saw him on tv but it seems that it was his character that everything should be fair and square. he once stated that an eye for an eye, a teeth for a teeth.
