Question: Why do most people seemingly prefer justice to injustice!?
A question which begs the question, what is justice!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
People only prefer justice for themselves!. Not justice in general!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

people believe whatever is easiest and most convenient for them at that moment!.
its easier to never see past the outer layer, and to glance at a story and blame them!. it is easier to simply say, "He was wrong and she was right" and see things in turns of black and white!. we call that justice!. we call pointing fingers the *right* thing to do!.
but is it!? There are almost *always* more than two sides to every story, more than just "justice" and "injustice," but if we generalize, it can all be done with out a second thought!.

so in answer to your question, we prefer justice because it is the easy way out!.
theres a difference between blind justice and just never opening your eyes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Justice helps one to feel closure,
or some relief from tragic
circumstances!.

Justice is the action(s)

those who wrongfully loss
someone, something!. It gives
back hope, respect, or
suppose to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know people believe in justice so much that it even blinds them!. Such as when they want someone's killer to be killed when they have no idea if death will actually take them to a more wonderful place and that's why I'm against the death penalty!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

actually according to Thrasymachus (see Plato), or Machiavelli !. !. !. !. they don't, or, at least, shouldn't!. Hobbes, on the other hand gives geometric reasons justice is better and more successful than injustice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Prefer"!?!?!?!?!?
If one has the moral courage to accept that justice begins with individual sovereignty and that justice is the protection of that concept, then justice is not "preferred"; justice is mandatory!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

seemingly people want justice wich is usually the "right thing"
and injustice is usually the "wrong thing"!. people will automatically choose Justice without even knoing the whole entire story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is the inherent quality of humans!. Justice before injustice because everyone would want that if they were in the shoes of the accused!.
