we arrive to society and culture where almost every person so desperate need to be right and truthfull. However, in such pursue of righteriousness, so many people make harsh and evil deeds just to prove their right. For example, such people insult others, fight with them, disturb, blame, hate and even attack them just to prove that they are 'doing the justice'.
why do not we all agree that noone possess the whole justice in their hands?

because they are not enable to view from other points of view. people usually can not change their stands to achieve new insights. then they loose the opportunity to achieve the whole truth.

It is all due to wrong learning process, or due to emotional indoctrination into thinkning that way... In fact, truth is defined in an ancient Tamil (a South Indian language) literature as "that which does good" and goes on to explain that even "an untruth is as good as truth, if it could do an unsullied good to someone"..
It is the bane of our times that even as we boast of high levels of learning a good number of us are so perverted as do all evils and justify them in strange new ways...
A Samskrit (an ancient Indian language as rich as Greek and Latin) has a literature that explains good conduct, which states how one should speak. "speak the truth, speak kindly, never speak truth that is unpleasant..."
In olden days people never kept contracts /agreements on record, but by word and stood by the plighted word, even if it was adverse to their interest at a later stage... Such standards of high personal ethics have vanished in the Age of Science..
An ancient adage says: "where the satan rules, words of truth and virtue have no value and men of selfishness and vanity will not hesitate to eat their own flesh" (read as eat their brethren - who are of their own blood)..
Satanic tendencies are much in evidence now, but the times will change... There is a proverb oft repeated in Indian history (by Indian authors) that "the life of the righteous ones would be challenged by the evil but the righteous would ultimately win" (in cases where the righteous king actually dies never to see his victory over evil, the story shall still be considered as victory to the king who became immortal in the annals of history!)..
So the role of evils have always been there and the turn for the better also comes some day... The night should end after all, and the day with its effulgence will have to dawn... History is replete with instances of decline and renaisance... that would suffice for the hopeful to wait... So be hopeful..!

Truth through "righteousness" is often seen through the haze of one religion or another
Many people down the centuries have done what they thing is right in the name of their religion, In fact many wars have been fought with both sides proclaiming god on their side, believing they are right and true.
I heard a quote, but don't remember its origin
"Evil men will do evil things. But for a good man to do evil things, it takes religion"
I agree that in the pursuit of "truth" and "right" too many wrongs have been done. We can only hope in the righting of these wrongs, that we don't continue to make the same mistakes

You only know the world from your own eyes. Unfortunately, as you say, that is only one pair of eyes out of more then a billion possabilities. Just the logic of that should tell you that you have no idea.
Unfortunately many people need black and whites to anchor their understanding of their environment. These are really assumptions. So peoples foundations of their understanding of the universe are assumptions.
Try and let that statement fly in a science class!
Man just wants to think he has answers.
