So glad you posted about it! when you look at it, it really seems quite clear...Truth is about the reality that exists separate from us, but that we are a part of. Trust the beloved Guardian to have mentioned them both. I'll have to read the advent of Divine Justice again for further understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734645058271734681.post-44592431940605809422010-10-31T20:54:20.927-07:002010-10-31T20:54:20.927-07:00Great post!
I have learned from my Discrete math ...Great post!<br /><br />I have learned from my Discrete math class (and this has also applied very similarly to your understanding of the meaning of words) the difference between what is fair and what is equal. This is incredibly similar to the difference between justice and equity. All too often many people equate fairness to equality. Suppose an estate is being divided up among those who have each bid on it. The estate is divided up fairly among the heirs. It isn't always divided equally, where everyone gets the same thing or things with the same value. <br /><br />With justice in a court of law, the people in court do not receive equal treatment. They are seen as equals in the eyes of the law, but their treatment is not equal. As far as justice and equity goes outside of the court room, sometimes in life things go a way that is good for someone else and bad for another. This is sometimes just or unjust, but it rarely seems equal. <br /><br />I've learned that simple words can have many profound meanings. I am astonished by the wisdom of the Baha'i Writings every day. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
