The only evidence for justice for ME comes from outside- since I don't believe in it internally- I have to look outside myself and say "hmmmm, what does society think this word means?"- and then I have to go by the closest approximation I can make to average "justice". I can process all the various inputs society gives me about justice- I can think about it, and decided whether it is reasonable, useful, whether it conforms to what I understand society to mean by "good", whether it is found in various religions, etc- but I don't add any "evidence" to it. I merely process the idea, and of course I know how I "feel" about it- again not evidence of anything but my feelings- a product of my temperment, my experiences (including my societal inculcation) and my reason- interacting in whatever way they do to cause me to "feel". You may think you have internal evidence of justice. You may even HAVE real internal evidence of justice (who can say what is going on in your innards- certainly not I- and your innards could be very different from my innards- which give me no such "evidence")- but (imo) your evidence is meaningless to anyone but yourself in any objective sense, except as your actions are impelled or compelled by your internal conception.
