Justice, To Be or Not To Be?

Does Justice exist?

First lets define Justice as well as Just, since that is the root word of Justice.

Justice: 1. The quality of being just. 2. The rendering of what is due or merited; also that which is due or merited. 3. Conformity to the law;legal validity: a code of justice. (Taken from Funk & Wagnalls Standard College Dictionary)

Just: 1. Fair, evenhanded, and impartial in acting or judging. 2. Adhering to high moral standards; upright; honest. 3. Morally right; equitable. ... 7. True; correct; accurate... (Taken from Funk & Wagnalls Standard College Dictionary)

No can we say that Justice exists? Or that this world, this society, this country is Just? Is this world Fair? No, life's not fair, we've seen that; and if life, which is contained in the world, is not fair, then how can he world be fair? Is this country morally right or equitable (1. Marked by equity; impartially just, fair, and reasonable.)? No, morality has, for the most part, departed, that should be fairly obvious. Equability is on the way out; no one can truly impartially judge. Is this world True? No, lies are everywhere, they've infected all of the world. Is this world adhering to high moral standards? No, we've already been over that.

Does Justice exist?

I think Justice exists in a very small amount; it's there, but it's weakening. Injustice is on the rise and what was once considered Justice is now considered Injustice. This country, this society, this world isn't Just, it manages to dish out some Justice, and things that resemble Justice but really are biased and lop sided, but at the core justice is elusive to mankind.
