I tribute these ideas to a Greek philosopher (can't recall which one atm, I'll go check) and would like to ask these questions:
1. What is justice?
2. Who can justly administer justice?
3. Is administering justice unjust, because justice means harming the unjust, which itself if unjust?
Here are my personal responses:
1. A system that tries to make life "fair" for everyone (though defining exactly what "fair" means is a whole new topic itself)
2. I don't know.
3. Yes, but how can you stop injustice without administering injustice?
