I understand the meaning of "justice". But is it collaborated by ones point of views or that of an entire society?? Is taking a piece of gum so bad and are 3 strikes you're out entirely helpful?? As a society would we punish a helpless man for stealing milk from a store for his starving wife? Or is that the decision of an individual in office??

Social justice is either a virtue or it is not. If it is, it can properly be ascribed only to the reflective and deliberate acts of individual persons. Most who use the term, however, ascribe it not to individuals but to social systems. They use “social justice” to denote a regulative principle of order; again, their focus is not virtue but power.

Justice is punishment of those who work ill against their neighbors. It is social, based on a social group's acceptance of what 'wrong' deserves such punishment.
An individual's decisions on what is 'just' tend to be based on self-gratification or self-interest.

the concept of justice is delusion
what we call justice is really no more than revenge
humans are not in a position to even understand true justice

we are taught RIGHT from WRONGE and justice is a way to give what is deserved to people who think they don't have to obey laws
