Justice demands retribution as a way to restore the moral balance of the universe.

Isn't that a bit ambitious, possibly even pretentious? We don't even know with any certainty that there is a balance to be restored, do we?

If our search for justice - which is a concept we invented, pursued through a system we created - can protect us from malefactors without stepping on the rights which we have decided all citizens are to be accorded, that would be quite enough for me. That's a pretty ambitious goal in its own right, without setting out to restore the moral balance of the universe....
