Injustice: The Demon of Doom

Injustice is an age-old vice that has tormented humanity since sin found its way to the world. It’s an agent of regression that fights against humanity and posterity. Many mortals have been subject to the burdensome yoke of Injustice at one time or another. With advancing of age, Injustice has gained momentum and has become like a fierce tsunami; it has shaken crucial pillars of our society. The world is writhing in pain in the claws of the demon of doom.
Injustice fans the flames of many social evils on one hand and squeezes life out of the dreams of its victims on the other. The despicable demon of doom has successfully managed to lord it over humans who apparently have a strange weak willpower to fight back. This vice is older than all of us; we come, suffer helplessly, lament endlessly and go. Every time a new life checks-in on earth, the world heaves a sigh of relief and rejoices that finally someone has arrived to take the bull by its horns and put to an end the ruthless illegal reign of Injustice – Ticktock, ticktock…. years pass fast, the menace aggravates and sadly, the sun sets; Injustice mocks the world as the curtain falls for yet another life. No one brave enough to dethrone the demon of doom and exorcise it out of the home of humans has been found yet.
Are we humans so powerless that we permit Injustice to wreak havoc on our earth expedition experience? Apparently, the demon of doom resides in humans; injustice is propagated by humans. However, majority of human beings cannot consciously stomach the guilt of treating a fellow human being unjustly. And if that’s the case then one wonders why Injustice has lingered on earth this long.
Maybe a set of additional questions will give us a better comprehension of the situation – Why is there so much injustice under the sun? What makes someone inconsiderate of the needs, rights and feelings of those weaker than them, so that they propagate injustice against them? What switches off right or wrong receptors in the mind of a responsible and rational human being, causing them to act selfishly and irrationally in a manner that deprives justice to a fellow human being? What hardens the heart of a humane person such that they fail to identify with the needs or rights and the pain and suffering thereof of those their actions disadvantage unjustly?
If we can lay our hands on answers to the questions above, then we can trace the path towards eradication of Injustice. An obvious observation from the questions is that humans are born just, they become unjust at some point later in life. This means that something is introduced into their souls, which transform them from being just to being unjust. And this foreign invader is what we’re referring to as demon of doom. Therefore, to eradicate Injustice we need to exorcise it (the demon of doom) out of humans.
In a previous article, I mentioned that a vice occupies a void that’s meant to be occupied or is left vacant by a virtue. Hence Injustice (demon of doom) as a vice, takes advantage of the absence of a certain virtue and secures illegal residence in the soul of a mortal. Unfortunately, Injustice (demon of doom) is so powerful that once it checks in, it downplays the effectiveness of any other present virtue and assumes sovereignty. Other virtues like mercy, honesty, selflessness, fairness, faithfulness etc. are suppressed when one is under the control of demon of doom. Notably, this demon cracks its whip selectively. For instance, an unjust person does not treat everyone under their influence unjustly. He/she may be merciless, dishonest, selfish, unfair, unfaithful etc. towards a certain group of people but merciful, honest, selfless, fair, faithful etc. towards another.
Generally, injustice is not only propagated by individual men and women but by some world’s systems as well. However, these systems are coined and overseen by men and women, so at the end of the day we get back to human beings as the choice hosts of the demon of doom.
The question in everyone’s mind right now is, ‘which virtue do unjust men and women lack that give room for the demon of doom to assume control?’ A good guess can only lead us to one thing. I started by mentioning that Injustice is a threat to humanity and posterity in every sense. It fans the flames of many social evils and curtails dreams and aspirations of many people. The demon of doom takes advantage of some weak willed and callous humans to propagate its agenda against humanity. It occupies a void in the souls of men and women who lack ‘love and respect for humanity’. Hence, if we can be able to instill this virtue ‘love and respect for humanity’ in every (breath that forms humanity) human, then we can secure Injustice a one-way ticket to abyss.
Now the challenge facing us is, how do we instill ‘love and respect for humanity’ in 7 billion souls?
Follow me on this blog and let’s see what we can do to rid the world of the oppressive demon of doom (Injustice).

Congruity: The Celebrated Robber

Congruity is a smooth and friendly robber who enters your house as an entrepreneur selling a service (a tutorial on how to be cool and fit in the clique). As an unsuspecting host you gladly welcome the guest and sit through the tutorial patiently. You pay for the service by giving up your personal convictions and off he (congruity) goes to hunt for the next unsuspecting culprit. He robs your house (willpower) clean and leaves you with a herd-mentality that sticks with you as long as you want to remain cool. The good thing (am not sure whether it’s really good) with our society (us) is that we’re really smart. We pride in our ability to remain on top of things. We aren’t intimidated by problems, (though we aren’t proactive in solving them either). So whenever we’re faced with a stubborn problem that’s likely to give us headaches, we tag it with a justification and quickly sweep it under the carpet (that’s smart, right?). For instance, in the case mentioned above, when our k...

Remember the Foundation

We’re living in dynamic times and things are changing quite fast. If those who lived in yesteryears came back, they would think they’ve discovered life on another planet because of the way things have revolutionized. It would take them a lifetime to understand what is going on.  Life is so fast paced nowadays, before you comprehend the fundamental principle of a trend, a phase is gone and another is midway. But how can we sustain sound judgment when life is moving at jet speed engaging us in full time comprehension occupation? Women on the Rise For instance, we hear of women empowerment all over. Have you ever been curious to find out the facts behind empowerment of Eves? I hope you have; but a good number of people especially women (no offense), jump into the wagon without establishing the objectives of this noble cause. And because they don’t build the cause on its foundation they go to extremes resulting in massive outcry from the male population. Misinformation ab...
