Why should they be? Well, if they are not, why did I expect to encounter them? Why do we teach our children this is what is important? Why are they universal ideals? I may be assuming too much. Either way, these ideals give us hope, give so many reason to fight and die to attain them.
Justice. The quality of being "just." The definition of just: guided by truth, reason, and fairness. Such a beautiful concept! A concept rarely encountered sincerely. It's a virtue I have found to be professed widely yet, not practiced nearly as much. Too much favor is given, or not enough. I do know that money has a way of leveling out the playing field, or otherwise submitting in one form or another.
Love has been so blown out of proportion, it's a joke. The concept has been used so much to sell to us, we believe in "love" in such a selfish state. The initiation is based on pleasure, gratification, and comforting insecurities. Improperly filling in voids until it doesn't fit anymore, and then just "falling out of love."
When it comes to peace, love is so twisted at an intimate level, how can it not be the case when it comes to the world? It is common for a person to be indifferent unless there is a benefit. The over-ambitious have no problem going out of their way to destroy peace to attain their desired benefits.
I believe all that is has an origin. Anything and everything in our world, in our conscious, sprang from something that already is. Therefore I do not buy into justice, love, and peace to be false concepts. I also know that I am not the only one who feels that this should be, and could be, our reality. To be honest, there are times the condition of our world disheartens me greatly. It is horrifying to realize this is what it is; that there is an evil so ominous that exists. I refuse to submit to it.
