Reason Versus Justification

 Reason vs justification

A good reason for something seems to qualify as a justification for that thing.

When rains are heavy, river floods and flows on to even sideways of its bank. Hutments get swept away. Probably lives too. Annual feature of few rivers. Reason remains asa justification for inaction by people for several generations, until some fellow stands before that mighty river and says “I will stop that river 💪👍”... People around laugh and label him as a mad fellow ( the justification of past generations, is being questioned by him 😜… no ‘need’ to tolerate his argument/challenge. He or his descendants build a dam ( earthen dam, later masonry dam, whatever). Then, the same flow which swallowed lives, will light up the nights of lives generating hydro_power 🙏

Nucleic family is a reason for inadequate parenting of present generation…. Should we use it as a justification for lack of values in kids? 

Interpretation of statutes, case laws, seem to convert reasoning into justification, while the preamble gets grossly ignored in courts. Unsound mind, if it can be proved as a valid reason, using an admissible evidence of doctors certificate from a corrupt doctor, every murder gets a pardon 😜😰 . Money power and cunningness of an unethical lawyer turns a system meant for ‘justice’ into a mockery.

When investigative agencies unearth black money, scam funds, etc from a politicians premises, the culprits shouts “vindictiveness” by the ruling party ( reason is reasonable….. and minds of vote bank nods “yes…. vindictiveness “ forgetting that, this neta never said “ I didn't hold black money, I didn't perpetrate the scam”

The power of reasoning throwing away the bits of justice remaining scantily strewn among isolated politicians, was demonstrated so mightily when a prime minister explained on the floor of the parliament ( documented into perpetuity now😜) the justified-reason of multitudes of mega_scams as “due to coalition compulsions” …. 😂🤣🤣🤣 Awesome example of mega corruption of minds of those who occupied the highest chair of public responsibility as a civil servant 🙏

My personal experience…. Spiritual path is well insulated from any kind of misuse, abuse, manipulation, craftiness, slyness, cunningness, connivance, etc of minds, which seeks to justify a reason or cause, for neglecting our spirit, life, being, soul, atma, rooh, whatever 😜 … a department of justice symbolised by a personified deity shanidev, using the characteristics of a planet called Saturn, when its planetary influence to symbolise its functionality, had served the purpose to guide our minds on right path since 5000+ years 🙏, was a mega contribution by mathematicians of the highest order, of ancient times, who were known as rishis .

Are we interested in cleansing our minds, to some extent? Do we like to avoid self_deception of misusing valid-reasons as justification for our complacency?  

There is a huge risk. Face isolation 😜… get labelled as a fool. Because, the baby_steps starts with accepting responsibility for failures happening very routinely in our mundane lives 😜

Anyway, nature takes its own course( coarse, if we are too complacent about values, basic to life)...

Unreasonably yours,
