Justice is the ideal of fairplay, or rather, the attempt to apply the ideals of fairplay and equality to a natural system. We talk of level-playing fields, equal opportunity and rights, and play by the rules. Justice is the ideal behind, and simultaneously, the enforcement of the 'rules'. Karma is another term for it. Note people's desire for natural justice, where people receive their 'just rewards' without the intervention of those in authority.
