Haven't you notice why is that the symbol of the justice system of the Philippines is a woman carrying a balance?
I am from the judiciary but I myself has not inquired into this seemingly superficial detail, until this morning in the middle of my reading when all other people are soundly asleep. It dawned to me yes it deems fit why the justice system embraced the figure of a woman as its symbol.
The Theory of Mood Swings. Yes. You read it right.
Judiciary ranks in the same footing as women does if we are to qualify both in the scale of mood wings.
Both will champ the scale surely.
Woman are so unpredictable in all ways. They have a very complicated mind and a very hard to comprehend attitude. This nature is inherent on us. No woman can ever disagree that they have their own ways of annoying their spouse, their family, their friends or even themselves. Usually, mood swing is something that is expected from us. And most of the time, this also serves as a good alibi whenever your guy quarrels or argues with us.
Judiciary, likewise, seems to be characterized by mood swings. The system to which the law revolves is a very complex one. Even though there is the Constitution that guides the three branches of government, there is the Rules of Court that supervises procedures, there is the Civil Code and the other Civil Laws that watches the private relationship of the people, there is the Revised Penal Code that limits the conduct of the society and other divisions of law thereof, it seems that all these are never enough to create a justice system that is strict to its rules and straightly bounded to the laws and statutes. Perusal of the jurisprudence and the cases precedent as well as decisions promulgated and issues that has been resolved would reveal that justice is characterized by mood swings like that of the women, only herewith it clothed the expression that system were just being subjected to the various interpretations of the application of the law
I see nothing wrong in mood swings. Being a disclaimer as it may seem, this is natural occurrence and this is just admitting that we are all human and that we are bounded by the limited and finite capability to understand everything.
What is just being stressed here is that the justice system should be aware that constant changes from the interpretations of one law is disturbing as it is annoying for a woman to change mind and attitude as quick as one blink of an eye.
