Where the justice is, the more someone has been damaged, then when they are set free and forgive the past abuses, the rewards they receive to fill that space in their life is proportional to the debts.
So people who only suffer a little, only require a little correction or restitution.
But those who suffered a lot, well, it's like the meek inheriting the earth.
I've noticed it's not so much the good and bad we do in life that determines everything, but how much we forgive that really makes a difference. The harder it is to forgive and work past something to be a better person, the greater the rewards for that effort.
otherwise it wouldn't be fair to judge someone who never had hardship and always had opportunity and support to do the right things; and to judge people born in adverse conditions for having to compromise and struggle to survive. What determines people's character is if we can forgive low blows we are dealt in life; those given more difficult hardships to forgive become stronger characters for forgiving and overcoming those obstacles.
so it works out proportionally. if you notice, people have more respect for those who overcome challenges rather than those who sit around and whine like victims.
