Philosophical Questions: Justice

People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.


What’s the difference between justice and revenge?


Justice is balanced; revenge is unbalanced.

Justice makes matters better; revenge makes matters worse.

Justice aims to solve a problem and restore stability; revenge aims to hit back and restore ego.

Justice is about society; revenge is about individuals.

And so on. But bear in mind, what's called justice is often revenge in disguise, and quite often revenge is the closest to justice someone is going to get.
