Justice is not a right sought only in the courts. Social justice among citizens is at least as important as legal justice. It is hardly possible to speak of social justice in our country.
For example, in our country, a municipal employee or an employee of the electricity department can readily cut off your water or electricity because of your debt, while leaving another person in the same circumstances as you untouched… You may be treated unfairly without even realizing it. More troubling still, not only are you treated unfairly, but the official does not care about your situation. It would never even occur to our officials to knock on your door and let you know what is happening before cutting off your electricity or water. Then suddenly you find yourself at home without electricity or water! Is there a sick person at home? Are there children? They don’t care. They are concerned with the documents in their hands and act according to those documents. They may be right in their own eyes, but it is hardly possible to say they are right from a humane point of view!
Our injustices do not end there; there are also injustices in working life. For example, there are serious injustices between civil servants working under the same conditions in different places. While one works very hard, another can leave the office before their workday is over. In our country, one person can work constantly while another can draw a salary without ever going to work… Injustice shows itself here, too, and before you know it, that hard-working civil servant has learned not to work, or starts going to work every day unhappy because of the injustices. Their unhappiness is reflected in the citizens who seek services from them.
In our country, our young people who are trying to find work and build careers are exploited by politicians… Promises of jobs fly around during election or party congress periods… Knowledge, skills, education, and experience do not matter. What matters is who you belong to. The size of your family and whether you have voting power are important criteria for getting a civil service job. Before you know it, you have become a civil servant, or you have reached the point of leaving the country. That is how easy or difficult it is to get somewhere in this country. Some become civil servants and drive an X6 to work, while others remain unemployed and cannot even find the money to put gas in their cars in our country…
Unfortunately, we could multiply these examples. Rather than adding to them, I think our most important duty is to seek social justice and put pressure on those responsible to ensure it is achieved. If you ask me, social justice is the key to social harmony and a happy society. That is why, whatever our status, we must all do our part to ensure social justice. Otherwise, our dysfunctions will continue to multiply and our unhappiness will continue to grow.
