Term 2 Week 6 (Weekend Assignment)

Justice and Mercy

Can Justice and Mercy co-exist? I believe that they truely can, let me explain why.

Firstly, Justice is being morally right all the time. Justice is given to each and everyone equally regardless of race, language, religion or skin colour.

Then, Mercy means the compassion of a person being shown to a usually weaker person, forgiving all the wrongdoings he had done to you and burying the hatchet.

Many people misunderstand that in order to have Justice, one must do the right thing at all the time. You can do Justice by punishing an offender, but you can also show him mercy by letting him go or reducing the punishment.

Through mercy, you are actually helping yourself.
