Justice

The price of living in a society that is truly just, that is, has a rule of law that applies to everyone, is that, from time to time, one is unjustly treated.

The mechanisms of justice are human just like you. Bloody imperfect. Or to be more precise, accurate but quite imprecise.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, after all. Suck it up when it’s your turn, I say.

The trouble is we don’t live in such a society.

Oh justice is on average quite accurate, but only when the parties involved don’t have a vested interest in the outcome. And it’s bloody amazing how obscure those vested interests can be.
