Nancy,
A very good question (justice) and I understand why it is one you would be interested in.
As human beings, we are very interested in justice. It is rational and understandable. hwever, take away the fear, take the hatred(that is a part of justice wheather we want to admit or not)take the sense of being cheate away. and is justice still a good idea? I am talking about the punitive aspect of justice.
If you were safe, secure and filled with wisdom(which, IMO , leads to
love) what would your more powerful desire be? Justice, retribution, or the ability ot get everyone to the same place you are at, which is infinite love, infinite security, infinite bliss? Justice becomes more desireable, the more we feel cheated or slighted. If you have everything that is important, secure for eternity, My guess is you would feel more compassionate, more loving, more benevolent(not to say that you dont feel that way now) than you would feel a need for justice.
