Quote:I think justice is important.

I think it is a romantic notion,but irrelevant in daily life. Life is not just.


Quote: It reminds us that actions have consequences and thus keeps society functioning as best as it can


.Justice has nothing to do with the functioning of society. Order is maintained by rule of law, backed by raw power.(violence, explicit or implied)

People obey laws through self interest, which may include a fear of punishment.However, I think our prisons show just how effective is fear of punishment as a deterrent.
