First a quote, "Edmond Dantès takes justice into his own hands because he is dismayed by the limitations of society’s criminal justice system. Societal justice has allowed his enemies to slip through the cracks, going unpunished for the heinous crimes they have committed against him. Moreover, even if his enemies’ crimes were uncovered, Dantès does not believe that their punishment would be true justice. Though his enemies have caused him years of emotional anguish, the most that they themselves would be forced to suffer would be a few seconds of pain, followed by death."
Now the question: Is true justice possible? Can it be delivered by government/society? Can it be delivered by individuals? Religion? (God/ Karma/Fate). Can you think of examples where justice is simply not possible?
