For example, if justice always requires a price then even though mercy be extended someone still has to pay the price even if it's not the one who committed the original crime. Therefore, in loose terms, what makes mercy any different than justice if it must always meet justice on justice's terms. I'm talking of Justice in terms of Universal Law. For example, for every action there is an opposing reaction. When we take a step, we push against force that pushes against us. In some simplistic way, isn't this justice. Must our force always be met with opposing force?
