"Do you believe in true justice?" - anonymous

Yes, though I think it is impossible to say exactly what true justice is, much less ever invoke it. To me, it is something that must exist naturally in the universe, independent of human intention or even awareness. Much more akin to karma than anything imagined in the U.S. I don't think true justice has anything at all to do with some fantasy of heaven or hell where we end up according to an arbitrary or divine (which are the same thing) measure of our individual worthiness. I do think that justice and truth go hand-in-hand however. To know the truth is to know and experience justice. I think that true justice is the natural process of coming to know the truth (which probably explains why introspection as the only real means of discerning the truth is so important to me).
