Just because something is a human need, does not mean it will be fulfilled. People need food and water, but not everyone gets it. Similarly, people may need justice, that does not mean they'd get it.
What you have given here is the reason for inventing this story of "getting justice in the next world". People would sleep easier if they believed that there is an entity which provides justice in the next world - that does not make the existence of that entity true. As a comparison - I'll sleep much easier tonight if I believed that I'd win a million bucks in lottery tomorrow. That does not mean that I'm going to win.
If you dont get what you need (food , job, water, son, daughter... etc) then it means that Supreme being is saying to you 'work harder! or 'do more good deeds!', 'help the poor', 'respect your mother' etc.
I mean your dont expect to recover from any sickness of you dont take medicine. You dont expect too live long if you your self smoke, One thing leads to another!
Believe me his reward will come to you in a very mysterious way. May be ... Out of no where you may grow old until the age of 100 without stroke, or the almighty savse you from a plane crash, or you winning a lottery!...
