Restricted Area: Justice At Its Finest...

I major in Religion and minor in Philosophy, as well as, Political Science. In my case, going into a politically driven battlefield and expect to create philosophical connections was not likely. Yet, I must say, I have found the most intriguing philosophy on ethical issues of triggers and responses within the conscious of the public, the media, and the politicians. (Left picture: stairs of the Abraham Lincoln Monument).

The politically charged universe is currently one

of the toughest realities to contend in. Said people are constantly looking at what color you are, how you speak, where you come from, what you wear, who are you associated with, who you know, and other surface trivia. For example, there was a young man who wanted to ask just about each speaker of the Seminar a question; though he was not articulate he had substance, credit, and comprehension of his questions and the answers he received. Many people were not impressed by him, rather many used his goofiness as an excuse to mock him in the most discrete sense. I became an admirer of his skill simply because of one rule: Heart, Reason, and Will. (Top Right: Part of the MLK Jr. Monument with the words Moral Universe and Jusitce being highlighted by the picture/ Bottom Right: Powerful words from the Korean War Memorial as it snowed).

Suddenly, I was transported into an experience not of my own. I saw the content of his heart, I saw his reason/logic, and I scanned over his will (determination and guidance). Leaning over to a friend of mine, I whispered, "Now that is someone I don't mind being affiliated with." This young Russian was the start of realizing the thought, what I like to call a unified-political-color-blindness. If you can align yourself with someone, to quickly be transported into their seat, your perspective becomes an existential philosophy, it becomes Justice At It's Finest.
