Justice


Now is the age of heaven and earth’s achievement of their purpose. At My command, the spirits of heaven and earth shall purge the unjust and discreetly aid the just in accordance with the righteousness of autumn. The corrupt will fall and decay like autumn leaves, while the true will be as fruitful as autumn’s harvest. All life shall be renewed, and all blessings shall begin anew. When the autumn wind blows, leaves fall and fruit ripens. –JSD Dojeon 2:29-

We all wish love and fairness from God. And we know that the love without righteousness will spoil and decade the person and environment in the end. However, when the justice is mentioned, why do people feel a bit uncomfortable here? Because we are unjust somehow in general? We know this is inconvenient truth. But without justice, the universe even cannot sustain its eternal system. And we should know there are many transgressions even God cannot forgive even if He wants to.

The justice is for public welfare and it is the right thing to do.
Then what is the right thing to do? It’s not that simple and easy to answer.
Try Michael's Sandel's Justice then.
