Truth is absolute. Truth does not waver from the path of those who wish to do right and fair, Truth is always absolute, and will always show itself sooner or later. Through unjust laws made throughout the history of mankind - and through the struggles of people throughout the world to live free without the fear of discrimination, terrorism, racism, hatred, and imprisonment for no reason other than the colour of their skin, or their religion, or beliefs -  truth will eventually show itself.

However, when one reads through history, truth and justice may have been slow in arriving, it inevitably does arrive. Many millions of people throughout the world have marched, fought and died because they were fighting for what was right. They were fighting for exactly that...truth and justice...and the basic freedom that is the right of every human being upon the face of this planet, to live free and happy lives.

Truth comes when men's hearts are turned from hatred, and when the force of a movement of a people is so strong that it impacts, like a hurricane, upon every human heart. When people fight against truth and justice their fight cannot last.  Indeed, the greater good that is within the universe, and the goodness that is found within the hearts of human beings to do the right thing - and to not uphold unjust laws that keep others down - is a force that we simply cannot rally against.

It has often been said that evil exists wherever and whenever mankind allows evil to breath and fester. In turn, unjust laws are created that will uphold one person's privilege - completely contrary to the lives of others -  that may be kept down in squalor. Eventually there is always an uprising...an uprising that begins small - like a ripple -  but then it grows and expands, until it covers the nation, and eventually the whole world. 
Truth and justice will not be silenced by mere words from a statute book that try to uphold unjust laws in order to keep the Status Quo.  Where murders and pogroms are committed in the name of such 'laws', then, as Gandhi stated, 'An unjust law is no law at all'.  Truth and justice will show their face, and their attire will shine through, to blind even those who fight against truth and justice.. 

You will, no doubt, recognize them: The Civil Rights Movement in the 1950-60s, against the savage Apartheid laws in certain states in America, that segregated people on the basis of color. The marches in India, against the occupation of Indian land by the British. And the marches in South Africa, who for years, existed on an evil Apartheid regime who rigidly slaughtered the black majority.

Of course there have been other marches throughout the world, in the battle and the fight for the real truth to be known. And eventually, that truth does come - along with justice. But the fact that people have fought and died for truth and justice along the way, is exactly the reason why truth and justice, are pure and untainted. Indeed, as stated above, it may come at the greatest price of all...our lives, but in the long run, generations who will come after us, will look back and see how things have changed, for the better - for themselves and their children.

The fight for freedom, truth and justice, will always go on, wherever a people are victimised, terrorised, and slaughtered, in the name of an unjust law or other.  This is the true basis, and foundation, on which truth and justice are built - the fight for life, and liberty. It is something that should never be forgotten, wherever human beings exist in this world. This is what the true meaning of truth is...
