Life is always pretty funny and wierdo..Sometimes u get punished for something tat u dont do and tats really unfair..Anyways tats the irony of life..Life will never be fair..Whatever perfect judicial system u create in the country or whatever best governance is there life will forever remain unfair..I cant give real world instances..But there are certain parallels in fiction..Take the case of Sirius Black of the Harry Potter series..Sirius is Harry's godfather and my favorite character in the book..This is the jist of his story..Sirius is born in the noble house of Black.It is a very pure blood line in JKR s lingo.He is handsome talented faithful to friendship and a real daredevil..Look how fate treats him..He sides with the good following his heart.Sirius revolts against his family who are in the wrong side of justice and lives for his friends..However he is accused of killing his best friend and his wife and put up in a wizard prison with the happiness sucked away from his soul.When he languishes for 14 years in prison none of his friends care to bring him to justice..They misunderstand him and think tat he is the betrayer.Sirius manages to escape and meet Harry in the third book.However his happiness is short lived and he always have to be a fugitive from justice and on the run..In the fifth book again he is shown living in his maternal house all alone and forced not to see the daylight..He is a member of the squad to fight against evil but is unable to contribute his best in spite of being talented as he had to lay low and not be found out.Isnt this a case of justice denied( delayed ??)Wat more punishment can a man have with his spirit crushed and having himself caged within four walls for no wrong of his??Sirius finally dies in the end of the fifth bk..The dark lord misleads Harry into thinking that Sirius is in trouble..Harry comes to save Sirius..However the case is vice versa..Sirius dies a hero's death saving Harry..Had there been in a mild twist of fate (or the story line) Sirius might be saved..If one reads the fifth book properly one might understand that..A story is a writers fantasy..But stories are very close to real life..and though Harry potter is pure fiction JKR accurately portrays the ironies of life..
P.S: I cant put up the picture of Sirius in the movie.Coz i imagined him to be much more handsome and well am a horrible artist and cant put up my drawing.
I agree with the fact that many stories are close to real life.
ReplyDeleteBut from this story and some happenings, i think one cannot conclude that " justice denied is justice delayed, though whatever you are saying seems to be perfectly true for the judicial system in this world.
But if at all you believe in a justice above all that also, then...I believe in these lines rather "Bhagwan ke Dwar me der hai lekhin Andhera nahin....", which implies that justice could be delayed but never denied...
May be u r rite...Am not talkin through the coloured glass of idealism now..Justice delayed is justice denied in a real world situation..May be ur statement can give consolation..But the truth is always bitter..
ReplyDeleteWell that was not idealism too. It is just in my view a better way to deal with such situations. Hope drives life. If you can hope and have faith that you are going to get justiceone day definitely, things would go smoothly than if you think this is the end and there is no justice.
ReplyDeleteIf you ponder more on that statement, it is more than consolation. I still disagree to the fact that you call this as "truth" and something as a "real world situation". Relect on these : "What is truth? What is real world?"
Anyways, those were just my views....
