Justice is just a pretty word created to convince both criminals and law-abiding citizens alike that it all balances out in the end, like some kind of Westernized fairy-tale karma. Justice doesn't exist.

Mercy is more valuable. At least it's real.

@Miram I respectfully disagree. When we punish a murderer, we enforce justice. And it's a mercy for the family of the victim, unless they decide to forgive.
Miram · 31-35, F
@Madeleine I don't see how that restores balance.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@Miram You cannot enforce full justice on earth, that's why, I believe, there's The Day of Judgement.
Miram · 31-35, F
@Madeleine So there isn't justice here. Which is kind of my point. Justice systems are variant enough to prove that.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@Miram I believe in the justice system sent by God.

Ya3ni sharia law.

@Miram Only if you understand it correctly. Not how the media portraits it.
Miram · 31-35, F
@Madeleine Oh I understand it very well. I am an ex Muslim. 🙃
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@Miram Then you don't understand it.
Miram · 31-35, F
@Madeleine I am sure I understand it. You are no where near being able to evaluate me.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@Miram It's not about you. It's about a justice system that I believe has no flaws.
Miram · 31-35, F
@Madeleine That's your belief and you are very much free to have it. But to throw in the assumption that I lack understanding is simply disrespectful and unnecessary.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@Miram I apologize if I made you feel offended.
Miram · 31-35, F
@Madeleine hun, come here 🤗
@Miram Exactly. Justice is a fiction we tell ourselves so that we believe we can be made whole from evil. We can not. We can not return, forget, not remember.
