Seeing the advantages of a perfectly just reality isn't really the point, though. I can think of any number of potential universes that I would prefer to live in, but that's irrelevant, because I live in this one. Whether or not an idea makes you feel good has no bearing on its truth value; I can see the things I would gain in a just reality, yes, but I see no evidence that this universe is that reality.
At best Esq, you can say realty is how you see it or how I see it. There is no evidence to tip the balance either way. My reality is no less real than yours. How we perceive that reality is all that is different. Feelings have nothing to do with it. That's a red herring.
