Is injustice a human nature?

An opinion by Eric Sindabi
I tend to believe that injustice, the contradictory of Justice is a natural phenomenon that is connected to the human society. Ever since or time immemorial, down the history of Man kind and even centuries before and after the death of Christ injustice has existed.
History shows that People have ever been unjust to others while people have always cried and yearned for justice.
Reference books define the term Justice as the practice of fairness, un biased and impartiality.
Being just is like adherence to the right thing or conforming to good and expected standards in society.
Injustice thus is a vice while justice is a virtue and an expected social standard ethically, culturally and even spiritually.
In Kenya today for example majority of citizens cry foul and are up in arms with the Government for not up holding justice in the country. Ranging from the last general elections flawed results and the continued miss-management of public resources, to the crumbling economy, corruption in public and private sectors, insecurity, poverty and un equal distribution of resources are some of the issues that Kenyans cite for injustice by their political leaders.
As Kenyans soldier on to demand justice from politicians it should be reflected that justice is directly proportional to in justice. That justice cannot exist without in justice and the other way round. It is a human nature that exists in any society of the world and only God, according to Christian teachings, can be trusted for justice.
Indeed many nations of the world have ever experienced the In justice phenomenon that has contributed to the suffering of many now and in the past and where social and political tribulations are believed to be caused by a few unjust leaders.
Never the less victims of in justice have ever been tempted to apply all possible ways to decry in justice while oppressors too use all possible ways to en rich in justice.
This can explain the events that were witnessed in the country following the disputed presidential election results early this year. Many voters urged that by being denied, through rigging, and the practice of tribal politics, a chance to elect leaders of their choice was injustice of the highest order. Many voters believed that by electing leaders of their choice would be as well as making better choices for their lives as these leaders would have brought about the changes the country ache for to improve livelihoods.
In protests that followed many innocent Kenyans suffered a great deal with thousands being killed and displaced in the skirmishes that ruled the day. Likewise it is a great injustice according to social analysts for the government to put the citizens of this country in such an ugly situation. Neigh ours and associates in the country drawn from all walks of life that hitherto lived and co-existed peacefully soon turned against each other in support of particular politicians.
As Kenyans try to re -construct from the effects of the post poll violence, injustice still beckon and Justice seems to be far from site. It is as ever as normal as politicians continue squabbling than serving Kenyans on the most contentious issues. Indeed Philosophers have put forward that Justice can never be fully achieved in any human society. It is like heaven. We desire for it but we can never achieve it here on earth.
