Does justice exist?


"Deserving" doesn't exist but inequality does (like Cinderella's treatment compared to her stepsisters').

"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".

Justice means deserving. Justice exists, but sometimes for justice to be done takes a while.

But "deserving" doesn't exist which means if justice exists it would have more to do with equality or something.

You're opinion doesn't qualify as fact. I don't know why you think there's something wrong with the concept of someone deserving something. What do you mean by "deserving doesn't exist".

Sure but neither does yours.

I don't know why you think there's something wrong with the concept of someone deserving something. What do you mean by "deserving doesn't exist".How more plain can it get? No one "deserves" anything. It's a myth.

EDIT: And there's nothing wrong with the concept anymore than there is with the concept of a unicorn or of the Sun orbiting the Earth.

You know what fascinates me about you and too many other people who think that you're thinking? It's that you can tie your shoes without checking the instructions each time. I don't understand how someone who would respond to a question about opinion with just another useless opinion and not know they're doing it.

Okay, I'll try once more only, it's your opinion, nothing more, it's not backed up with evidence, that "it's a myth" that someone can deserve something.

Now, if a person were to ask you what you mean by that, or might challenge the idea, you might have evidence of what you say on hand for rebuttal to the challenge. See? That's how a debate works.

Let's say it's your opinion that unicorns exist. I can't back up my saying "Unicorns are a myth" with evidence, it's my opinion against yours.
