The Other Side of The Coin

What happened to the other side of the coin? Have men treated it as the equal of punishment, namely: rewarding those who benefited the wellbeing of society in one way or another? Dear friend, i’m afraid the answer of this question is negative! Empirical evidence to suggest this thesis is abundant: there is no scientific theory developed not to mention academic cources on how to reward people justly. What kind of supporting system do we need to establish the justice in the form of the reward system beyond the conventional ritualistic awards? Do we already have the technology and profession, and institution responsible for the execution of social heroes?

Let us look at the age symbol of justice is taken from greek Mythology: the goddess of justice. There we see the pair of balancing scales to measure the degree of one’s misdeeds, and the sword as the symbol of punishment technology. And the closed eyes reflecting indiscrimination. A cute symbol, but simultaneously an unjust one-promoting justice one side only: punishment! Why is it? That man has observed only one side of justice since the beginning of the human civilization that we tend to preserve up to the modern times? Thereby justifying one to ask the consequent inevitable question: why not change the statue’s name to the goddessof punishment, ever since?
