That Orphan with one leg found a penny once that belonged to a nice old grandmother who was exactly one penny short when trying to buy her inhaler and subsequently died of an Asthma attack...
As such, suffering...
I was recently thinking about a quote from the jurisprudential scholar Karl Llewellyn that is apt, I believe:
"Justice [is] not attainable or even describable substance, but a quest, as being an idea conditioned in the first instance by each quester’s view of the Universe, and conditioned secondly (as Law-Government must always be) by the fact of scarcity. Whether within an organized group with firm legal-government traditions or within an emerging, half-chaotic world, the justified desires and demands have always exceeded the wherewithal to fulfill them, and they always will."
So basically, justice is a lot like common sense. What appears just to one man could be viewed as cruel to another. Once again the reason for wars, politics, and high school debate teams.
Of course, all humans are also striving for the same basic human rights. Which is why, on a long enough time line, any tyrant will face a revolution by the unhappy, suppressed, and tortured souls of the people they crush.
In the end, it is one big circle of power and corruption vs. the desire for freedom.
Comics that are funny and thought inspiring are good for the brain.
Or maybe it is just the nature of living in a chaotic universe instead of a just universe.

Seems harsh, don't it?
