Justice is the the balance between good acts and bad acts-I could see karma and a workable definition for it. But the thing about justice is that it doesn't necessarily have to be a tangible retribution for something - in other words, justice is more than just punishment and rewards. Justice can be visited upon the cheater in the form of guilt or later unpreparedness. Justice can come to the good Sumaritan when he goes to bed happy and self-confident. It can also be more overt, when a murderer is put in jail or murdered himself, or even inconvenienced a little. The problem with justice is that we don't understand the magnitude of all things, so what we might think is unjust punishment might derive from a crime that wasn't cosmically as severe as we thought.
