Injustice causes a great deal of sadness and anger, and comes in two flavors. The publicized injustice that is said to exist when something happens and you do not get revenge though the courts and the second more real form where you are or someone you are very near is at the sharp end and victim of this search for revenge or where unfounded allegations are made against you by individuals or corrupt police officers.
The first or minor form of injustice, can be easily overcome by getting out of the mindset where you search for revenge and instead look positively, and consider even if it was another persons fault how they might be helped. Supporting friends should encourage people to let this go, to move on and think in positive terms. Revenge never makes anyone feel better, and serves no purpose other than in lining the legal professions pockets. Prisons make bad people worse and convert those who have made mistakes or are victims of the system often into criminals.
If you are the other type of victim, the hurt is not only the injustice that you have suffered but also the loss of trust in the system and authorities that should have been protecting you but has betrayed your trust and turned against you. This can be difficult to overcome and a grudge against society as a whole can develop, if you do not have the support you need and the opportunity to have contact with a community that you can trust. It will take time to rebuild trust, and to again be able to function and within this time many suffer from health problems brought on by the stress. Once you have lost the trust in the authorities, you may never again believe that they are capable of acting honestly and justly, and perhaps we should educate people at an earlier point to accept that the system under which we live is seriously flawed and unjust.
