I was held in an Arizona State mental facility a couple months ago for admission of possible self harm. The cop lied to me said I could leave whenever I wanted. They held me for 24 hours. I started thinking about all the people the U.S. imprisons for years and years.

Not sure if anyone watched camp x-ray but it makes you think.

Anyway, I also got into debt with an auto company who sold me a 1000 car and charged so much interest it came to 10000. They repoed the car got all my stuff in the trunk and my trade in car after 3 days and then sued me for 7000 and got a default judgement because they published the lawsuit in a newspaper I'd never see. It's very common in Arizona.

Anyway the judge who heard my case had no legal training! And the people who sued me didn't need to provide proof that I owed money either.

Academic institutions charge 100,000 for degrees that won't land people a job but aren't required to refund any money.

U.s. law allows random people that have nothing to do with the case to buy debts for pennies and sue people.

U.S. will put people in prison for years and years for small crimes.

Lawyers are only for people who can afford them. If you get a free one they might even give you the wrong advice. Something similar happened to me.

I could go on stating ways that my own country and society has cheated and lied to me, but there are too many.

I just want to know where is God in this terrible unjustice society.

Ephesians 6:12 said it right powers and wickedness in high places. Cause that's where it is some of the most influential people with the most money in this country seem like devils.

Life is tough at times. In FL they can "Baker Act" you and hold you in a psych ward for 72 hours...against your will... for self safety/mental evaluation. A doctor or cop can do it, but a cop is who physically gets you there. Not a good experience and I'm guessing you said something while angry, even maybe sarcastically, and the cop issued the hold.

If you knew the judge had no experience, what did the lawyer do for you in that respect? You still would have legal recourse. However, a new judge might not have experience but that doesn't mean he/she doesn't know the law.

Any country can put a person into prison when they are not guilty of a crime... but no one is innocent.

God wants us to consider everything with joy... because He loves us, because soon He will make everything really good! Imagine how Jesus felt being confined and jailed without cause---ever--- nothing He did was wrong. Or how about Paul, all those times jailed and beaten and once even thrown on the dead heap when God revived him with the apostles there.

Try, really try, to put these things behind you and look for good stuff...it will change your life, and it will change your outlook upon life.
