How Do You Deal With Feelings of Contempt for The Injustice of the System?

Specifically, the criminal “justice” system, which is anything but just.

I’ve kept this on the back burner for almost 23-years. Suppressed my feelings of anger, disgust, and contempt because the pain of an injustice was greater than the contempt. Now, with all the stories of a “justice” system gone mad – and I call it, the “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” system – all those feelings have resurfaced. I’ve witnessed the corruption with my own ears and eyes. It has impacted my life in a very personal way. And it’s changed my life for the worse because of the bare faced lies of CJS that does not value truth and fairness, only, money, status, and who you know.

I’ve never hated anyone, but I’m hating these liars and rogues who portray themselves as pillars of the community. Hatred is not something I want to feel. It damages me. What do you do with your contempt and disgust at injustice?

Personally, I’d like to round them all up and lock them away for life.

Update: Writing this and sharing my feelings has helped a lot. Also, some of the responses who understand. Thank you. Writing really does help with our feelings of frustration and other emotions.

@SW-User Thank you. I have seen a number of unjust cases, but the release of that London Bridge terrorist released after 8-years, then finding out that a bystander on the bridge was a day release prisoner, who was in a low security prison after murdering (strangling and cutting the throat of) a 15-year old disabled girl, had me feeling utter contempt and anger, when I know people who have served longer sentences (and worse) for marijuana. Not only that, I personally witnessed perjury by law enforcement on the stand. It’s called: testi-lying.

That's terrible that the law gets away with stuff like that.😔@Carissimi
