I’m not trying to be dishonest.  I think of justice as the person who harmed is punished; to the point they can feel the pain they caused.

Is that the purpose of justice? Or is it just a crude means, chosen in a cruder time and susceptible to improvement, adopted in the hopes that it will contribute towards attainment of Justice?
