Can you be "unjust" to yourself?

Question

I mean, justice is having no one's biases get in the way of pretty much your "fate". If you are making your own decisions, you can't have a bias against yourself.

Answer 1

Great question because it is the essential source of all injustice.

You are NOT your learned defensive ego and it is filled with bias and belief in conflict with your true nature. It develops in reaction to limited egos you grow up with. We are all constantly impeding our own happiness because our judgements about self and the world are insane.

Until YOU become the observer of that entire learned, programmed thought system and change your mind deliberately, NONE of your decisions are made by the REAL YOU. They're just software glitches that don't DEFEND you at all!

Answer 2

Grr...this is making me think to the extreme.

Alright, well, if I take your definition of justice and say that we can't be bias of ourselves, I think that would be false. If there was one particular thing we don't like about ourselves, we would most likely leave it alone and hope it never comes back instead of trying to fix it, and maybe in some sense, that would be considered bias because we should consider each of our values important and not be picky with which ones we want to follow.

So I think you can be unjust to yourself, regardless of my empty explanation.

Answer 3

absolutely.
sometimes it's with the intentions of being masochistic.
other times it's a side effect of either not thinking things through properly and dealing with the consequences of that.
or possibly even of just (not trying to sound cynical) thinking of others before yourself, and as a result of not consider what would happen to you, being somewhat blind-sided by any ramifications of that. Also, the best people dont' favor themselves, so they wouldn't have a bias *for* themselves either.

Answer 4

Justice is measured against a fixed standard, such as the law. You can, therefore, be unjust to yourself.

Answer 5

addiction is being unjust to yourself..you have to think of the ramifications

Answer 6

yes...you can make decisons that are bad for yourself, especially if you have multiple views on things...also consider the people that hate themselves....
