    The blindfold on lady justice has a rich-people filter.

    If justice isn’t blind, why do we all know what it should be? Because our legal system is the manifestation of justice in our authority structure, and it isn’t doing a good job of living up to the objective principles of justice.

    The problem isn’t the ideas of justice, the problem is the judicial branch of government.

    Justice is blind.

    Ideality is not reality though, it is a somewhat useful abstraction, about like any of the sciences; where there is always a scope of application and limitation in the entropy of reality.

    The terminology of a Justice system is the primary fallacy. It is a legal system and legislative governance. These are not equivalent. Even the concept of justice is extremely subjective to many factors and perspectives.

    Not much of a shower thought.

    Your complaint is that the world isn’t perfect.
