Is love stronger than justice?

your thread is very timely. it made me reflect and think that this is what i really need to do for all the injustice and wrongs done against me. I need to defeat the enemy by love and forgiveness. there is no greater power than love. it can be a strong force that can destroy any walls dividing us from people who hurt us. Forgiveness is what we have in our heart. and we can conquer our enemies by forgiving them. it does not matter if the other party will accept our love and forgiveness, at least we did our part and that makes us win over them and defeat them. it may not make sense but actually true love and forgiveness open us more doors for us to so many things. but doing the opposite will close many good things that can come into our lives. so i may forget my plans for revenge and follow now the path of love . it is just so for our human nature to demand for justice but it is not always the solution to our problem. it is love and forgiveness. but that does not mean that the other party will not suffer the consequences of his wrong things he done against us. God will be the one who take revenge. our part is to love and forgive them. What they sow is what they reap. they will still reap the bad things that they have done in life. but it should not come into our hands. Revenge is mine saith the Lord. according to the bible. but in our hearts we must release the bitterness and the cry for justice and ask God to spare them actually them the punishment but we know God is a God of justice. but only God knows how they will be paid for what they did whether good or bad.

Again this is one of those things that is in the eye of the beholder. Justice for the person that kills is for society, Even if the person that was killed was evil, from that point of view justice was done by the killer. Loving all means recognizing that we are all one regardless of our present form. Once we can see past the surface of our physical form, love will be all that is left.

Hello dear Pose. I think that it sounds very reasonable that if we can forgive the others the way we forgive ourselves, it will be much easier to forgive the others for what was done that is not ok with us. Pose, my dear friend, I appreciate your thought on this. Take care and keep it up.

Love is definitely strong purpose for every one; love for country,people,partner,kids and families..all of this is because of one true hard to understand element, and that is Love. even justice is the conclusive effort of love. how can there be justice if there's no selfless love to another person who had been a victim....

Oh, I guess most of the time justice is stronger than love according to the law, yet in the real life I believe that love is stronger than justice and that does make sense for a lot of situation.

You may be right in forgiving others for wrong doing . This is what mahatma gandhi preached through out his life. If a person slaps u then instead of fighting him put forward second side of ur face for slapping him. But how many people have courage to do this??

Pose, I was thinking about this situation yesterday. Sometimes I think is important to seek justice ,but revenge makes a person bitter ,and is best to seek love and learn to forgive ourselves and others. You can be a happier person is you seek love because love can move mountains.

I think that forgiveness is a very personal thing. AS for forgiving yourself, sure as long as you are resolved to do better. As for forgiving somebody else, it depends on what they did, whether they're repentant and how many times they did it. There is a point of no return...

a little confused.after read twice i think i understand what you saying, during our growing up, we will meet something which was happened by ourself or caused by someone else,we had hurt.face to this situation, forgive ourself is able to forgive anyone else, then make ourself happiness.good luck and have a nice day.

I think it takes a person who is really confident in themselves to forgive what others do to them. Especially if it's a family issue because you see family members know you. They know how to push your buttons and I think that they know exactly how to hurt you and turn it around and blame you for it. No offense, but I've done nothing to these people except try to love them and I can't do it anymore. So I guess what I'm saying is no I can't forgive and yes I want justice.

I think love is always strong than any other power in this world and it comes in the life of very few lucky people.Its not always that u triumph but its a feeling and state of ur mind and heart that u start to live a different life all together.I believe that any justice or prejudices or restrictions cannot with held the love.

Hi Pose! that's a good discussion. i think you couple first have justice,and then there is love begins. if there is no justice between lovers, there is no love . sometime there is inconsistentce between i and my girlfriend , first , i will think whether it's my fault , if it is , i will give a flower to her. if not , i will talking to her , what i have done is to maintenance our love, so i think justice is beyond to love .
