I believe that eventually we get what we deserve. Case in point..OJ Simpson
IMHO to get what he deserves would require more then what he has got.

And I think there are far more examples of people who never get what they deserve then those that do . . .


He is locked up, if I were to hazard a guess, he's "getting" it.

and

Never is a long time, you can not be certain that they "never" get what they deserve.

Innocent child in Hiroshima in the year 1945?

huh




There were many more that died then just an innocent child in Hiroshima. It was an act of war. Is there justice in war?


To me there is no such thing as a just war. A just cause like the civil rights movement, ending aparthied, and others is just.

Do you think we live in a "just" world?

What goes around comes around, People get what they deserve, or some form of karma?

What do you think and why?



Our world is as just as the world just is defined to be. No one out there gets away with everything they do. No one can be evil or mean to the core and it even out on the other side. Whichever side it may be. Because our world is not split down the middle. So, my answer is yes...it is very just.

If someone is very mean and cruel...just because they win the lottery doesnt mean life is not fair. Let us say someone who doesnt hold doors for their elders, hates children, never smiles, laughs at people's sorrow and pain walks into the gas station in front of you or myself. This person goes in and buy the same scratch off instant lottery ticket as I went there to purchase. After handing the cashier the money and snickering at me, they walk by and I purchase mine. I hear in the background. "Yahoooooo! I just won one hundred dollars!" And I scratch mine instaneously, and it is a loser.

Wishing they go outside and get hit by a car? Not going to happen. But lets say this person LOVES Perry Mason and Campbells Chunky Soup. I BET YOU any money that, maybe not that day...or the next...or maybe the next...but one day they will be ready to eat their Campbells Chunky Soup and watch Perry Mason and instead reruns of F-Troop will be on and they will get so upset, start yelling and fussing that they drop their soup.

Now....that is a JUST world.

So then, imagining an unverifiable outcome which fits into one's definition of what would represent a 'just' outcome makes it a just world?

huh

May be in Billy's mind -- if the scenario he pictured in his mind (i.e. dscribed above) would ever happen... Otherwise, he'd have to sulk for a while over the world's great injustice! noway
