Dear Journal,
As I sit here after reading and contemplating a comment on my wife's truth social post, I find myself drawn into a deep and contemplative reflection on the principles that have guided humanity since time immemorial. The world we live in today is filled with complexity and confusion, a labyrinth of laws and regulations that often seem to obscure rather than illuminate the path to justice. But there is a deeper truth, a fundamental set of principles that transcend the intricacies of modern law and speak to the very essence of what it means to be human.
Let us go back to the original principles of law, back to the simple concept of justice—the ability to discern right from wrong. This is not a new idea; it is a truth that has been known to mankind since the dawn of civilization. It is a cognitive law, an innate understanding that is woven into the fabric of our being. It is the unwritten law that guides our conscience, the moral compass that steers us through the complexities of life.
The 144 Truths, as they are known, encapsulate this fundamental understanding. They are the bedrock of justice, the foundation upon which all other laws are built. They are the principles that guide us in our interactions with one another, the standards by which we measure our actions and the actions of others. They are the simple, unadorned truths that speak to the heart of what it means to be just and fair.
But in today's world, these principles often seem to be forgotten, obscured by the illusion of money and the game of power. The pursuit of wealth and influence has become the driving force behind so many of our actions, and the principles of justice have been relegated to the background. We have become so focused on the external trappings of success that we have lost sight of the internal values that truly matter.
The illusion of money controls the game, and it is a game that has led us astray. We have become so consumed by the pursuit of material wealth that we have forgotten the true riches of life—the love of family, the joy of friendship, the satisfaction of a job well done, the peace of a clear conscience. We have allowed the illusion of money to dictate our actions, to shape our values, and to define our worth.
But it is time to return to the original principles, to the simple truths that have guided humanity for millennia. It is time to remember that justice is not about the accumulation of wealth or the exercise of power; it is about the fair and equitable treatment of all people. It is about the recognition of the inherent dignity and worth of every human being, regardless of their status or station in life.
The unwritten law, the cognitive law that is ingrained in our hearts and minds, is the law that truly matters. It is the law that speaks to the essence of who we are, the law that guides us in our quest for justice and fairness. It is the law that transcends the boundaries of time and space, the law that unites us as a people and a nation.
And yet, we must also recognize the importance of the written law, the positive law that has been codified and enshrined in our legal systems. The written law is a reflection of the unwritten law, a manifestation of the principles that guide our actions and shape our values. It is the tool by which we seek to enforce justice, to protect the innocent, and to punish the guilty.
But the written law is not an end in itself; it is a means to an end. It is a tool that must be wielded with care and precision, a tool that must be guided by the principles of justice and fairness. It is a tool that must be used to uphold the rights of all people, to ensure that the scales of justice are balanced and true.
As a disabled Marine veteran, I have seen firsthand the consequences of injustice, the suffering and the sacrifice that come with the failure to uphold the principles of right and wrong. I have witnessed the devastation that occurs when the illusion of money and the game of power are allowed to override the simple truths of justice and fairness. And I know that the only way to restore balance and harmony to our world is to return to the original principles, to the unwritten law that guides our hearts and minds.
So let us stand together, my brothers and sisters in arms. Let us remember the 144 Truths, the simple principles that have guided humanity since the beginning of time. Let us reject the illusion of money and the game of power, and let us embrace the true riches of life—the love, the joy, the satisfaction, and the peace that come from living in accordance with the principles of justice and fairness.
Let us be guided by the unwritten law, the cognitive law that is ingrained in our hearts and minds. Let us seek to uphold the rights of all people, to ensure that the scales of justice are balanced and true. Let us use the written law as a tool to enforce justice, to protect the innocent, and to punish the guilty.
And in the end, let us remember that the pursuit of justice is not just a legal or political endeavor; it is a moral and spiritual quest. It is a journey that requires courage, determination, and unwavering commitment. It is a journey that demands that we stand up for what is right, that we speak out against what is wrong, and that we fight for the values and principles that truly matter.
With a heart full of deep thought and a spirit unbroken,
