Unjust and unjustified

I remembered once consoling a friend of mine. I told her that there are a lot of things we can’t explain. These are the things that people consider to be unfair but it’s really because we just cannot understand the reason. That the only justification for things that aren’t justified is that “it is just the way it is”. Till today, I refuse to believe it this way because I think of causes and complex relationships between happenings. I don’t settle easily for “just the way it is”. Rather, I go all way out thinking of solutions.

Maybe it’s justified after all that the only justification for the unjustified is that it is just the way it is. I mean, there are a lot of things which appear to only happen to me. I try reasoning them and rationalize solutions. But it just seems awkward that some of them are really unjustified at all and yet, I’m somehow expected to justify them! Some even appear illogically wrong.

But I think I’ve finally came to a point where I have conceited to my own advice to others. That the unjustifiable is just the way it is, even if it means adding one to one equals eleven. It’s not about being lazy to figure out the intertwining of events and its implications. Sometimes, others may be in your position yet they do not fully experience everything that you are experiencing. So, it is just the way it is.

So I thought. Why bother justifying things that are seemingly unjustifiable? Well because it is not fair. It may be the most general and loosest usage of the term ‘fair’ because it generally tempts people to say “what is fair” or “what constitutes fairness”. The reality for me is, I have my own judgment of social fairness. Then again, it follows that everyone has their own judgment as well. The thing is, certain things just appear unfair to me because the unfairness just takes place directly in front of my face that you can see every cause and reaction. That it doesn’t seem justified because had you did it, it wouldn’t turned out. Or had you try to do it, you wouldn’t be able to. Of course, given consideration to various other factors. So I conceit that it is just the way it is.

So maybe, the truth is, we all care. We all care why things are and are not. Why things happen and appear such. But when we are not able to understand why, that’s when we fall into the false belief that we do not care.
