UMBRA IUSTICIAE

What is justice? Is it nothing but the difference between what is legally right and wrong. What's certain is that it is conceived differently in different people. Do you find it by follwing your heart? Most certainly you won't. But does reason always lead to a morally 'acceptable' conclusion? Is it then our striving for the common good? Nice try...
We're only programmed to propagate our own genes. So could it be that by rising against this construct of inevitable destiny, our mind reaches a certain degree of spiritual justice? This one sounds at least not too bad.
There is only one problem: Just by hoping that justice will be inflicted upon us by following this principle, aren't we forgetting those nasty falcons? The consequence is that there will be evil as long as there will be living organisms and that there will be no world without war. At least the Game theory tells us so...Is this not a sinister view of what we can achieve nevertheless? As an optimistic scientist I tell you : no, it isn't! But all of you realistic pessimists should simply continue to think what you 'd known forever: Maybe some day...
I opt for Armstrong, what a wonderful world!
