I too agree that there is a definate difference between justice and revenge. Another way to look at it is that justice is given out by a group of professionals who are trained in doing just that, and making sure that the punishment fits the crime and all that. Revenge is usually given out by the person who was the victim, or by someone close to the victim, and it involves emotions and irrational thinking. Huge difference!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259395876879287508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-19817466784030162522007-07-09T22:00:00.000-04:002007-07-09T22:00:00.000-04:00I agree with Lynn.

God knows what is best for us and gave us a law to help us live our lives the best way possible. Revenge does not protect and does not allow us to live better lives. Revenge causes pain and suffering, which is what justice aims to prevent.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783889476090620592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-20108867497188914122007-07-09T19:39:00.000-04:002007-07-09T19:39:00.000-04:00Okay, gearing up for Saturday now!!! Listen... the...Okay, gearing up for Saturday now!!! Listen... there is just such a difference between justice and revenge... justice is punishment handed out by our legal system to fit the crime. Revenge is handed out in the heat of the moment, often resulting in more death and violence. Justice is an Army doing its job to protect and serve... revenge would be terrorists doing theirs, killing to satisfy the hatred that burns within their very souls... Remember... I LOVE a good conversation... it generally makes me very hungry!!!!! I will have to cook extra now!!!!!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083175912948986487noreply@blogger.com
