Justice vs. Revenge

             Justice is a way of punishing people when they commit a crime.
             Those who break a law or rule that has been put in place deserve to be
             punished humanely. Justice is usually fair, but on occasion it can be too
             light on those who commit crimes such as murder or theft. The courtroom
             is often the scene that justice takes place. There a judge, along with a jury,
             find what is the most suitable punishment if any is neccessary. Often,
             justice is hard to acheive because everyone has different thoughts and
             opinions on what is fair. Usually the people that feel this punishment too
             light are the ones that have had the crime committed against them. Those
             punished do not know the pain they have caused and think they do not
             deserve the sentence. However, justice is not a form of revenge. Revenge
             occurs when one would like to take the law into their own hands or they are
             looking for payback. Revenge is looked down on in society because
             brutality usually involved. It is a lash-out of anger and is more harsh than
             fair. Justice seems to be fair to the majority of the public and will remain so
             as long as most the people find it fair.
