What is Justice?

From the beginning of this universe, asymmetry is in action. Even the causal factor for "this" universe to exist in first place is the asymmetry. The primordial asymmetry is still extant today like Male vs. Female, preference to Good vs. Bad etc. For this ever active asymmetry, the real justice in this world is that there cannot be a justice, because every human is unique and hence unequal in traits and abilities but everyone can still have the option to be equal [or even superior!] and have the will power to use the excuse of equality to be treated equal (although they themselves know that they are not equal). The apparently separate "things" in this world are not equal of each other. The delusion of justice (of Plato) arises out of amnesia of intellectual chain of thoughts. At the core, when they go there or consider the issue of justice, they can see easily and clearly that they always give their own preference over other people's interest but when they move down the chain of thought at the surface, the forgot about what they wanted at the core and now want equality for everyone, which is by its very nature, unattainable. Because of those 'honest' hypocrisy, justice is and always will be an abstract but unrealistic concept.
Politicians always used the trump card of equality to get the favor of the mass but they themselves know that equality is not possible. For the sake of example, let's consider the supposed Utopia of Thomas More. Given all your needs fulfilled, it was thought that finally the politicians will achieve harmony and there will not be any dissatisfaction among citizens. But at the very core there is a hidden seed of asymmetric want that human have that cannot be systematized. This can be illustrated by the male and female relationships. When 2 men genuinely want the same women, the all the ideals of equality breaks down. The table of life or the universe in general is tilted. The creation itself was not made equally. That grand inequality still has its imprint on today's society and men. So forget about mass and generalized justice and focus on what is just only for you in your context. This is the only justice that is just. If you are really respectful to others and want justice for others then doing just thing for your own life and with your immediate significant others which can and will bring justice to others. Do not self delude yourself on mass justice like Socrates, Plato or most of the other revolutionaries who still dream today to be fulfilled. This is no way of saying that I am against the concept of justice per se. This essay is just to point out that universal justice is not possible but the honest attempt for it should always be tried. It is good for the society [especially for the Gentile and the Meek] in general but when you see it has failed to achieve a complete success, please do not be disturbed and pessimistic. That is the nature of the nature. Get used to it!
