That is our entanglement

Before I became a lawyer, I never thought about why I became a lawyer, nor did I think about what a lawyer should be like.

Groping all the way, looking for references all the way, and gradually performing minor operations on my heart.
Just like Lincoln in the movie.
We are changed by society, and the most powerful rules come from professions.

I used to think that fairness is impartial, and kindness is a universal virtue.
Now, I know that all fairness has to pay the price, and rights come through struggle.
As for kindness, predecessors have said that nobleness is the epitaph of noble people.

When Lincoln flicked his lawyer's fees, I could guess how many clients had blackmailed him for free labor.
When he said to his ex-wife that you are the best, I can imagine how many times he wandered among all kinds of people wearing an indifferent and powerful mask.

The lawyer is not a god, but he must make others think he is a god.
To this end, he may sacrifice a lot, the most, perhaps the original self.
Can't be tender, can't hesitate, can't be naive and impulsive, can't be cruel.


The exchange of these swords and axe carvings may be just a little bit of comfort, so that you can stand on your own in the world; maybe just a little bit of joy, so that you can accidentally realize a trivial fairness in the countless stranded justices.
