There is no such thing as justice.

I'm not saying we should abandoned laws (although many are quite pointless) just that no one should ever expect "justice" from a legal proceeding or otherwise - because Justice is an ideal that lives solely in the mind and is completely different from one mind to the next.

Forgiveness and compassion are the key to the survival of the species.

I'm sure to catch a rash of shit over my views - but that's okay, I'll forgive you all:D
