What defines the limits of 'just'?

Comments

Limits? What do you mean? Isn't 'just' ... just? You're doing what's right. There shouldn't have to be limits to doing the right thing.

[striginae]

You believe 'justice' has no limits, then? Actions taken for the sake of fairness are not subject to punishment or repercussion?

[waitingfora]

Well, that's ... you ... When you put it like that, there should be a limit, I guess. I mean, if people are hurt or killed, ... though there are wars and whatnot that happen and --

... guess it's a harder question than I thought.

I mean, okay, so long as you're doing it for the good of everyone and not just yourself, then it should be all right. If they're selfish reasons and your just, then who is speaking for those that you walk over?

Do you believe, then, that the system the city operates under is 'just'?

[waitingfora]

Well, the city's looking out for the people, right?

[striginae]

I see.

[waitingfora]

Huh?

[striginae]

If that is what you believe in, then that is enough.

[waitingfora]

I guess. You sound sort of disappointed.

[striginae]

It matters little.

[waitingfora]

Ah, true.

[waitingfora]

Ah wait. I got it.

[waitingfora]

The limit of just is the 't'. 'Cause it's the last letter of the word. Can't go past that, right? Well, you could, but you'd be wrong.

[striginae]

A clever answer.

I'm afraid I hadn't thought of that, but perhaps so.

Dude, at a time like this, I deserve some 'l-o-l's.
