So often do we hear and most inevitably, encounter things unfold that we are convinced that bad things always, always happen to yourself.
Why me?? Why me? Why me?
Unconsciously, the belief that things will never go your way eventually trickles in. Why me. You wouldnt ask anymore and perhaps______it's just me.
That's no precious stone. Diamonds maybe forever but in reality, and stil very much vividly, the above ruby red is a case of a Sierra Leone. A true violence, civil war, exploitation, war crimes, under the trade of diamonds from South Africa throughout the last decade.
And the worse part after the civil war is, war criminals and thugs were granted amnesty, release from punishment for offense including murder, rape, arson, conspiracies and every sin committed throughout the blood diamond period.
And the former criminal gun carriers were free to settle back in life in the local community, much of whom have been terrified and assaulted by them previously!
Families with lost members, an innocent war victim from the community might find their killers, their rapist, their assaulter living just across the street after the war! No charge against them, no trials, no court hearings, all in the name of fear. Fear that the criminals might revoke again after the war. Life's unfair isnt it?
I doubt so though. Life is fair, whatever it is can definitely be made fair, if you fight for the cause. But is it worth fighting the cost for? Is it worth burning thousands and thousands of cash over a legal dispute? Is it worth walking out of a friendship in name of justice over whatever that had transpired?
Rule of law is equal to all, but is it worth going through the frustration?
