We can also give HOPE, CHARITY, etc....while some cant be given like FAITH, PATIENCE, etc (which are practiced & nurtured).......
So why is Justice so difficult to give & practice, & more often so fragile to nurture?

Because, in reality, there is no such thing as justice. Moral or legal. (Especially legal.) Justice on a personal level is difficult to define. It usually deals with an "opinion" about who bears the greater responsibility, & it's up to us to evaluate, & even so, is personal justice ever served? Balancing scales is a precarious task. (Glad to see you back.)

Justice - it has to be exclusive because every living being, even conjoined twins will have different experiences and can see things from a different perspective and will react differently and have some difference or the other.
Love is an emotion, justice is the result of actions, faith and patience are individual attributes- one of a twin may have faith in God, another could be an atheist.

Unlike love which is freely given, justice is something barely earned. You have to pass though all the known laws - those of man and of God. So if you break a law of man, you have to face the consequence of it's kind of justice. More often, man's definition of justice is 'double-sided'. And because it's man-made justice you can expect the worse.
Man's official justice is scarcely available. It's the most perplexed code of justification ever written which makes it too hard to implement. But there are those who take it roughly quick in their hands and deliver it without a word; proving only that justice is 'faceless', and 'tactless' at times.
Just remember: ' what's unforgivable for man is pardonable for God through admission of fault and repenting over it.'

I believe that God is for Justice, not just us. Yes it is and should be universal, to deny anyone is to deny all. It is difficult because people so often tie it to their own self interest, rather than the ultimate good of all. It is fragile in the face of the power of this world, but like the drop of water it will eventually split the greatest boulder. All it needs is the crack provided by concern for the lowest of the low and poorest of the poor.

I would argue that if one truly gave and practiced love there would be no talk of justice...I will try to explain.
If a child hurts it's parents...justice may demand some consequences but love does not.
Gandhi was attacked by a man intent on causing grievous bodily harm...he was almost killed in the attack, but he refused to press charges(as justice would demand). I believe he was showing love. In an unrelated matter, the man came to him a few days later in tears and begged his forgiveness, which of course he gave. He also said 'An eye for an eye...makes the whole world blind'
Jesus was said to have uttered things like...'When a man strikes you on your right cheek, give him also your left'; 'If he steals your coat, give him also your shirt'; 'Forgive them father for they know not what they do'.
Justice is a sword...love is all blade.

Justice is facts, it can be cruel too....no emotion allowed to involved!!! and the main thing is not all the people able to know what is right and wrong....that is why justice is special!!!!
It is not fragile at all....a person know justice too well, usually know the ending stories faster than anyone else....usually these people will never get hurt and always the winner in life!!!!

Although, fairness and social justice should be practiced at all times, it is rarely practiced (justified by all the discrimination, poverty, etc. that is happening everywhere).
In practice, justice should favor the discrminated/ exploited. But, the process should be fair to all those involved. All sides should be told as to enable the decisionmaking committee to arrive at a fair decision. All should be weighed equally.
It is in the process that everything goes tupsy- turvy-- the inability of the less- privileged to defend itself, the biases of some decisionmakers and the investigators to those who have the power (money, influence, etc.), and so on.
Sadly, those who are in the government position whose supposed to practice fair justice are sometimes the one who exploits people...It is their vested interest that are at stake in makig decisions.

I think it is just human nature that we all seek out justice even though in reality it doesn't exist. Some people seek there entire life to get justice for something they were wronged of but they never get it. That is becouse true pure justice does not exist. I personally beleive that we are all driven by our destiny and what happens happens, if it wrere meant to be changed it wouldn't have happened the way that it did.

I think we should blame it on the Justice System, because for a court Hearing, it might takes Months to hear the case. I wish I had the Answer, this kind of question had been in my Mind for a long time.

Love is an emotion. It is governed by feelings. Justice is bought. In today's system of justice, the one with the best attorney or more money wins.
