What is [fill in the blank]?

You will almost always end up an infinite amount of questions as related to the original question. For instance, Greg says that he wants to make the world a better place by helping the poor, but this begs the question as to what is poor? He says he plants ’social justice’ churches–which uses the word justice–but what is social justice? He says that justice comes by more equality, but what is equality?

It is also just as tenuous to try and show what Justice is by what it is not. We can say that it is ‘not’ revenge, but then what is it? Corina says that justice “make thing right,” but what is right? What are these right things that we are supposed to be making. I recently wrote a post on language that deals with this subject on the complexities of language.

I think that we find in the end is that justice is almost always defined situationally. For instance, the word poor implies relativity. The only way to define poor is by comparison to yourself.

Plato and Socrates taught that justice was harmony, the absence of war. Perhaps that’s the meaning that Roy was referring to?

Justice is not revenge. No way. No how.
