Justice: Is it really worth it?

[Mystic]

Isn't it just to say a murderer gets more time behind bars than a bank robber?

In principle,of course.However, you have given an ideal,which is actually meaningless in practice.. Not every action fits into a neat little box,and the rich tend to be more lightly treated under most legal systems than the poor..

To be just,(fair) the law must be impartial and consistent; it is neither. Until that time, justice remains a romantic ideal.

I have to agree with you here.

In fact, the belief in justice was one factor why I believed in shiite Islam.

I believed two things: Justice and implementation of it can only come from God, and must be enforced by infallible Godly appointed leader.

All Messengers came so that humanity rises up for justice. Ultimately, the Mahdi World Government was the goal of all Prophets.

Until the Mahdi, perfect justice would not be implemented.

I don't know where to begin with justice now and the implementation of it.

Things were rather very simple and ideal when I believe in my religion.

I believed we had to try to implement the laws of God per revelation.

Now it's all up to the minds of a few elite in society. And we are suppose to take the laws of fallible judges as wise rulings to be obeyed blindly?

Are we suppose to trust authority?

Whom is worthy of leadership and whom isn't....all this is all too complicated.
