What is Justice?

What up guys its Kendall Adams

Mahatma Gandhi Indias greatest revolutionist who said and I quote, "an eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind." One of my life quotes and with all these attacks on Paris and in America with all these shootings I think it's hard to truly define justice. Proverbs 21:15 "When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers."Though the bible also says in Zachariah 7:9 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.'"

This baffles me, I know justice is not repaying and evil for another evil though the world is in chaos. God says true justice is mercy and compassion but when is it acceptable to sentence death for justice. Though I also think if justice can only be applied to criminals captured I mean we gave the generals of the Nazi regime a trial and sentence them all to death though many were also killed on sight. I have seen the what mercy can do and message it sends and sometimes people take advantage of it seeing it as weakness, not strength.

Though we see what strength of holding back did for Gandhi and Martin Luther both of them became legends and bringing about a new age liberation for their parties but were both assassinated. Though these assassinations only strengthen their movement so I wonder maybe we should not be going in guns a blazing but rather strength are borders and security than aim all efforts to destroy people but show them we are not like them and make them waste their efforts for a worthless cause.
