Justice, Power
& Moral Injury
Justice is the key to a functioning, thriving society. A good life for everyone, equitably. Yet this cornerstone of our daily lives is being eroded, people divided, and little by little, life becoming harder, less meaningful, for ordinary people.
Life isn't always fair, and sometimes we need to stand up and say so. To understand what justice is and how to access it.
We explore some aspects of justice and injustice to provoke thought, augment understanding, bolster the healing process, and especially, contribute towards a thriving life for our readers.

South African DEI and Land Redistribution: Similar terms, different intents
Human beings are wanderers and wonderers. But where did it all begin, and where will it all end? Charles Darwin's theory that all life on Earth evolved from a single cell, arguably around 3 billion years ago, is widely accepted by scientists and anthropologists. Archeologists also support this through their findings. But 'evolved' is a complex, sometimes loaded, word. The Darwinian school of thought goes further, indicating that modern humans (Homo sapiens) originated in Afri
