Have you ever been in the situation where you are unjustly treated? And there is nothing you can do about it? A situation where you know that no matter what you do, you can never get the unjust done to you? A situation where you would love to get back at the person who treated you unjustly but you just cannot. And that person gets away with treating you unjustly? Take for example, being blamed for something you never did. But you took the brunt of the blame and had to suffer the consequences of that blame. And the person who is guilty of the blame gets away with it. And there is nothing you can do about the consequences that you suffer due to this guilty person's fault? How do you get back at them? Or you just shut up, grit your teeth and move on?

It's normal!! What can we do?? We cant get back at them in the normal way, thus we have to resort to other means, using our post/position at work.. It's all about co-operation between friends/colleagues to work together against that kind of people.. Letting them learn via the hard way, or being helpless, at a loss, even it means no fault of them.. WHen i'm in the army, i used to 'abuse' my powers at certain time, to certain ple whom i dun like.. Just because someone wants to play hero, he end up making everybody do double work, throughout the night, thus he got what he deserved.. I make him do graveyard shift while everybody is sleeping soundly.. haha

This unfairness among widespread in human society. In my opinion, firstly, we should adjust our own's mentality, look at the unjustly treated optimisticly. Secondly, try to do the best to strive for the fairness of us, done is done, did not do is not done, never made a scapegoat.

I don’t get back at them coz revenge, I feel is a very negative emotion which causes more harm to you than to the other person. Sometimes I feel that my above reasoning is for the weak but in most cases, I feel more at peace with myself once I take my mind off revenge. I cry to myself, blame God for my miseries, blame my past life karma and just move on. Life is so unjust in most cases that if I piled up all the times I was unjustly at the receiving end, that I would never be able to do anything positively or never be able to enjoy all that life has to offer to me.

To put it simply, there is no justice in an unjust world like ours. I don't want to be seen as sounding pessimistic but as just stating a fact. Even wen you think you got justice done to you, it is not justice but just a glimpse of what justice is. The reason for this is that once a wrong is done, there is no recompense that could ADEQUATELY equally the damage done by the wrong. So, wen you think you cannot get justice done to you, well, just know that justice can never be done.

Well lifes like a gamble, now it may turn against you but some other times you may be favored by it. For example, you got something the other one deserved or needed more than you but for some reason you got it instead (by luck). My point is.....that justice doesnt apply to life itself, so its normal if there are some unjust situations.

Believe in God and/or Karma...somethings are bound to happen and it may very likely be divine intervention.

hmm, justice... this is a really big topic and controversial to say the least. how does one decide what is unjust? justice some times depend on which side of the fence you are on. it is a little like the debate on whether scantily-clad woman ask to be sexually assaulted. the things we do often lead to consequences that we may or may not have foreseen. and for your example, i'll just take it as a lesson learnt and move on. there must be a reason why i was blamed. be it by way of my position and responsibility or it was a deliberate sabotage. if i am in a supervisory position and i failed to ensure that my subordinates do their job correctly, then i should take the blame. if it was a deliberate sabotage, then i most probably have done something to cause the person to dislike me so much. most importantly, i should learn the lesson and take measures not to let it happen to me again.

ahgong, Justice will prevail and I suppose you are not believing in it to be so obscured in your delivery here. I do not know about you, but personally, I just do not buy that there is nothing we cannot do or be in such a helpless state when we are being mistaken or unjustly treated or blamed for something we are not responsible for. I agree that some things just cannot be done instantaneously or corrected on the spot and I believe it is really up to us to be confident that time will tell or reveal.

Take justice into your own hands. Wear a dark mask with two horns. Call yourself "The Batman". Can't get more original than that.

This is where FORGIVENESS comes in. Not an easy thing to do but a must. I believe that no one goes unpunished for a time will come when the Great Judge judges everyone but He is also called the Rewarder because He rewards the righteous according to their deeds. So I try not to get back or get even. I say my piece, explain my side but if there's no way, I let go and let God. I keep a song in my heart and I sing it every time I'm in this unjust situation: Victory, victory shall be mine. If I hold my peace And the Lord fights my battle Victory, victory shall be mine!
