Justice isn’t supposed to be Orgasmic, nor bring any other kind of joy to those involved with it.
Evil action isn’t the same as Justice neither.
Let’s put it another way: If it’s evil for bad guys to make victims of good guys, but not the other way around (standard western practice) or “The majority have to be in the right” (in which case the Chinese and Muslims should rule the world) the world indeed would be a very different place.
One cannot even say “Might is Right” any more, because the balance of power is positioned so many different ways, no single entity has the power to enforce itself upon the rest of the Earth. Many have tried, but ultimately failed because they lacked some resource that perhaps one of the balancing factions has in abundance.
Cheap Life, Huge armed forces, unlimited wealth, streets ahead technology, fantastic “intel” infrastructure to name but a few. Superior morality however is NOT found ANYWHERE, which of course rubbishes the entire concrete-minded argument at a stroke. Is it “Right” or “Wrong” to believe in any particular religion, not believe in one at all, or deny the existance of anything beyond yourself - the ulimate form of base selfishness? That’s scary! Even people that ■■■■ for wealth and power want such things so they can be loved and admired by all those around them. Remove the standard motives, and you’ve removed the standard humanty with it. Who wanted fabulous riches so they could invent merely a better way of killing everyone else on the planet? Who wanted more power so they could wage war with everyone else on the planet? World wars start when everyone else bundles the local “bully” nation - not because that “bully” decides to take on all comers at once.
No world ■■■■■■■■■■ ever being achieved by anyone ever is perhaps the most balancing thing about the world to date. “No one has a monopoly over them all”. Sounds a bit like lord of the rings (which I’m no particular fan of btw)
The same applies to the world’s so-called “main religions”. Animism and Atheism need to be counted among the other main 7, because of the sheer number of people practicing such a lifestyle, which, of course, makes them belief systems in themselves.
It seems overall that those who fear justice actually fear corruption or the miscarriage of justice. To me, such fears are like Howard Hughes’ fear of germs and dirt.
He did everything he could to avoid contact with such things, but in the end died after a perfectly normal range lifespan. What was the point in other words?
My brother believes passionately as you do that “Capital Punishment” is a barbaric practice that belongs consigned to history, and is left associated with factions like the Nazis or the Spanish Inquisition. Well, last time I looked not all the Spanish Inquisition’s victims were “Heretics”, and by no means were all the ■■■■’s victims Jewish. Yet that’s what those particular “victim factions” would respectively have the rest of us believe - That the inquisition was merley “corrupted religious zeal”, and the Nazis were “nothing but the anti-semitic party”.
