Philosophy couldn't explain it, physics can't touch it, morals can't define it and religion just can't put its finger on it. Justice might be one of the most expressions used but all of us agree its one of the most difficult one to explain.

Secondly, you have to be a little analytical to get it. Let's take this justice and apply it to the real world. It must've been around for a few thousands of years and it went through all of the changes and look where it got us to. I need not...
