The difference between vengeance (payback)
And justice defined by a sentence (objectivity)
Punishment is so often reasoning
Remaining strong without weakening
Guidelines rules the line in the sand
Determined individually, a demand
Collectively sought by said officials
Hopefully endorsed as beneficial
For all the human race as a whole
That should be our ultimate goal
Freedom of expression here and now
This should be our basic vow
There’s a line in “Tombstone” where someone says that Wyatt is looking for vengeance and Holliday says that no, he’s looking for a reckoning. Payback vs. justice.
Perfect example!
Now that you’ve brought it to mind, I remember it.
Nice one !??
