I've got better things to do than seek justice, which, it seems to me, is a way of getting legalised revenge. I'm more interested in trying to fix the here and now rather than rounding up some 85 year old war criminal. In my personal life I tend to let things go unless it's going to continue adversely affecting me. Justice is about giving people what they deserve, which, to me, is an idiotic concept. I don't want mass murderers locked up because they 'deserve' it, I want them locked up so they can't kill anyone else. I guess my answer to your question would be this: I seek to increase happiness, not justice. The two don't always agree.
