Oddbean new post about login | logout In the spirit of understanding i am going to start asking yall for your truth and definitions So in your own words. What is justice ? #asknostr
I’ll start this one off with the most archaic version. Eye for an eye Justice is the pursuit of equality.
I am pretty stumped on my definition i believe very much in karma but i whouldnt label it justice You gave me some to think on
Ditto! I don't think of karma as justice. But could it have dual purpose and also serve as justice for some?!
you're scaring me 😱
Imagine the carnage if our ‘leaders’ were brought to justice in olde timey days.
here's the thing on the one hand if we can prosecute for an error then nothing can happen, yet if we can't prosecute them then they can do whatever they want. 😱😇
an idea that never quite works out the way anyone thinks it should; similar to its idea-cousin 'fair'; often in usage people really mean vengeance for both. who decides? behind a bush a mob of red ants eat — a spider
🙏😇
I so badly wanna say thats fair for funny reasons And i agree i dont think there can be universal justice but maybe i whould say its the desire to be meaningfull As in i was wronged so x must be punished I lived like x so someone doing me justice in x way Spitballing
it's not that it can't exist, it's that people have an idea and step forth from that idea rather than using Mind, which isn't attached to concepts. in fact, Mind is why justice wears a blindfold. the same happens in people who attach themselves to a political ideaology, create a personality around it, and then permanently have their [whatever politics] view sunglasses on all the time. they step forth from ideas rather than...
God defines what is justice and what is fair and claims justice for Himself. "Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power." (Proverbs 8:14) "For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”" ( Hebrews 10:30)
Justice, is the term created for "legal revenge" to make it sound good so it's more widely accepted.
Rendering to each one what he is due.
Read the fascinating Eye for an Eye by William Ian Miller.
Justice is getting what God says you deserve when you refuse to obey His commands.
Justice is committing all judgement into the hands of the Son who gave His life for that right.
Fantastic definition.
