PLEASE READ THIS NOTE (I BEG YOU): Too big to be a note therefore it is a chapter

I often find myself considering the thought of Justice. It seems like a very broad topic and a very questionable topic. I mean, Google out there is telling us that there are 4 types of Justice. Now that's nonsense. I bet there's more than 50 different types of Justice. Justice is something considered as a mystery to me, because everyone seems to have different ideas about Justice. I have a different idea about Justice. And that's when I realized that what some people call Justice is kind of- idiotic. Please Please Please, allow me to take you on this philosophical lesson.

A person named John Rawls had argued that Justice is Fairness, which immediately brought my mind to the thing we often hear countless people say to us from generation to generation. "LIFE ISN'T FAIR": which now I perceive as "LIFE ISN'T JUSTICE". If life isn't fair, does that even mean that Justice exists?

Turns out, no.

Justice is an abstract concept invented by humans to achieve what we call "Fairness", which brought me to what justifies the difference between Justice and Revenge. I understand what people mean when they say that Revenge can never be justified. However, I would argue that

Revenge is another form of Justice. Revenge is when a person takes the right of another person's ability to inflict pain. Justice is something that is decided by our individual governments. A government is an organization of people. Then, how is it that it is only considered Justice when the government or lawyers deem the punishment?

In my eyes, I see our current way of justice as putting the whip of punishment in the hands of someone who is more "reliable" and hoping that the whipper decides to punish the wrongdoer. What baloney. There is no one in the world you can trust more than yourself. We all learned that lesson by doing group projects.

Francis Bacon said that Revenge is "wild justice" and that the people who think in such a way should be removed. However, I would argue that Revenge is a natural force that can achieve one's personal meaning of Justice.

Another type of Justice is called Retributive Justice and what is the definition of that? Person who has a form of punishment in which the wrongdoer is punished to the same extent as the wrongdoer. Hey! What do you think that sounds like? Ever heard of "An Eye for an Eye"? Yup, that's the one. I can bring many evil, vile people that have escaped the grasp of our so-called "Justice". What is justice when it doesn't bring fairness to the people?

And so I conclude this note with my final statement: I have and I always will believe that revenge can be justified. Revenge can be justified as long as the motivation behind your revenge is justifiable.
