The "Real Problem "

Here is a foundation of why there can be " No Justice No Peace ". Many wealthy "White Americans "
will never be able to understand.

The challenge to justice. The Sophist, teachers-for-hire who preached a creed of subjective morality to the wealthy sons of Athens.

The Sophists did not believe in objective truth, including objective moral truth. They did not think, in other words, that anything was absolutely “right” or “wrong”; instead they viewed all actions as either advantageous or disadvantageous to the person performing them.

If an action was advantageous then they thought you should engage in it, and if it was disadvantageous then they thought that you should refrain.

Taking this belief to its logical conclusion, some of them went so far as to claim that law and morality are nothing but mere convention, and that one ought to try to get away with injustice and illegality whenever such action would be to one’s advantage.
