“Light, in the absence of eyes, illuminates nothing. Visible forms are not inherent in the world, but are granted by the act of seeing. Though the world and events do exist independent of mind, they obtain of no meaning in themselves: none that the mind is not guilty of imposing on them. I bid my people follow, and like all good equations, they follow; for full endowment of purpose, they do submit - in turn, they resign me to a role inhuman, impossible, and unaccountable. But I can no longer stand the sleepless nights… I think I am learning to love the Demiurge.”

But who defines justice and injustice?

Kyuubi Kitsune wrote:But who defines justice and injustice?

I was trying to answer this question...came across this and gave up (just read that 1st paragraph...jeez...I've seen simpler full arguments aimed at proving God's existence). I own the book, but it's at home right now and I already have too many books to read at the moment...

Kyuubi Kitsune wrote:But who defines justice and injustice?

Simple. What is fair and what is truthful.

Without truth there can be no justice.

And then you can get into a whole debate about what is truth and the portrayals of truth which my English teacher made me write an essay on in year 11. But that's getting waaay off topic.

Here's a quote that I've no idea who said but I think we can all relate:

Student (noun): One who reads things that don’t matter, then writes papers saying they do matter, for points that don’t matter, in order to get a job doing something totally unrelated.

"Truth is the beginning of every good thing, both in heaven and on earth; and he who would be blessed and happy should be from the first a partaker of truth, for then he can be trusted."
-Plato

“Ignorance, the root and stem of every evil.”
-Plato

“The unobserved state is a fog of probabilities, a window of and for error. The watcher observes, the fog collapses, an event resolves. A theory becomes a fact… What is the truth? Tell me, if you know. And I will not believe you. Things are never what they seem. Clean gloves hide dirty hands - and mine are dirtier than most… Without truth, there can be no justice. Justice will be done!”
-Trevor Goodchild, "Aeon Flux"

That quote is actually from the television series, not that terrible film.
