Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere from "summary" of The Rights of Man by Thomas Paine
Injustice, in whatever form or wherever it may occur, is a malignancy that threatens the very foundations of justice. The insidious nature of injustice knows no bounds, for when it is allowed to take root in one corner of society, it has the potential to spread like a contagion, infecting the entire body of humanity. This is not a matter of mere inconvenience or localized discomfort; it is a matter of fundamental principle. The rights of man are not contingent upon geography or circumstance; they are universal in their scope and timeless in their relevance. To tolerate injustice in any part of the world is to betray the very essence of justice itself. As human beings, we are bound by a shared sense of morality and a common understanding of what is right and wrong. When we turn a blind eye to injustice, we are complicit in its perpetuation. The interconnectedness of the world today means that no act of injustice can be considered isolated or inconsequential. The ripple effects of injustice can be felt far and wide, affecting individuals, communities, and nations alike. It is incumbent upon us, as guardians of justice, to stand in solidarity against all forms of oppression and discrimination.- Regardless of their race, religion, or social status. It is a noble pursuit that requires courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment. In the face of adversity, we must not waver in our resolve to defend the rights of the oppressed and marginalized. For in doing so, we uphold the very essence of our humanity and honor the legacy of those who came before us.
