#### [[Knowledge of an unjust world is painful]]
%% #TO/TEND/WATER %%
This
answers:: [[What is the cognitive effect of living in an unjust world]],
in not a behavioral but an observational way.
Even if humans react to this fact in a variety of different ways, we can at least acknowledge that it is true.
Our reaction to this fact could be one of these two things.
It either
leads to:: us thinking [[Hope is not optimism it is a practice for producing change]] or [[Sadness is enlightenment and happiness is delusion]]
This is a big part of [[Accepting responsibility is not only about your actions]]. You must accept your part in the hurt of the world without crippling yourself.
Once you have realized this, you will realize [[You can't blame people for failing to rise above their circumstances]]
On a societal scale, this is either
part of:: [[Humans have decided to reject an unjust world]] or [[Humans have decided to take advantage of an unjust world]]
