On many of our college campuses the clarion call is to have a cause. If you don't have an earth-shattering conviction about an identified social depravity to champion...then what is the purpose of your existence? I celebrate passionate causes They are the fuel of creativity and societal transformation. But is our cause, cause worthy? And an even more gargantuan question; is our cause being done in a just way? Most would say, "of course it is". But perhaps you may want to ponder the following. What criteria are you using to measure your cause? What is your litmus test? What criteria ensures the implementation of your cause isn't causing more damage than good? One of the things I discovered, and it's addressed in the book, "a passionate cause is the greatest breeding ground for injustice to be perpetuated". Justice requires all who attach justice to the description of their passion, to at a minimum, assess it with three basic criteria. There are many characteristics of justice. They may or may not be present in all cases of justice. However, the criteria are never excused from being front and center with a true justice endeavor. Justice is a way to demonstrate care for humanity in the world. But if we don't get justice right, then we sabotage what we desire to see most. There is a cause calling you. Journey with me on the discovery to being Just in our cause
