If you accept that injustice happens, then you live by that. You have less reason to be just yourself, because that would to be to put yourself at a disadvantage in how you understand the world to operate. Do you see how this would be different if you understood there to be complete justice? How a person rationalising justice prevailing might have a totally different outlook to yourself?
I find it interesting that our ('western'?) criminal Justice systems are based on the religious concept of forgiveness. The irreligious answer to injustice is the chopping off of hands/ tit for tat vigilante type justice. There is no real justification I can see in a secular court for forgiveness. I can see that falling apart as society loses its religion. It is unsustainable. Thoughts?
