>Yak Wax:
>Justice is the need for revenge
That's an idea endorsed by the Christian God with His invention of "hell",
it's the conventional view, and a view that has caused more grief than any
other in the history of the world. When an idea doesn't work it needs to be
junked. This idea doesn't work.
>when someone commits a crime against you, what reason do you have to
>contact the police?
To stop that person from committing new crimes against others and as a
deterrent discouraging others from committing new crimes against me. That's
justice, one bit more and it's vengeance. Making a person unhappy because you
don't like him and think it's fun to see him suffer is something I want no
part of.
