Reality is just too strange to make sense. A divine judgement would be nice so that everyone gets their just desserts, but the lady known as Karma is a lying whore.
Reality is simple. We live and die and the world keeps on turning. We are just not able to accept that there is no more after that for us. It's too final for our minds to grasp. So for me, no, an ulitmate justice is not a must.
Would be really nice to have around, the idea that if you do wrong, it's BANG ZOOM straight to the Fires of Perdition. But God's got His Plan. When someone puzzles it out, be so kind as to ring me with the particulars.
No, but we've done a good job pushing that idea in the Bible.

What ever.
According to Buddhist philosophy, 'justice' is completely ambiguous, subjective and has cause more harm than good in this world. Instead of relying on the fear of justice to be moral, one must realise of ones own intelligence and wisdom, the usefulness of morality. As for Reality making sense- reality IS it just IS. Unhealthy ideas of reward and punishment don't change the Absolute Truth.
_Beelzebubba- Do you even know what 'karma' is? It is NOT (as the West portrays it) a system of reward and punishment.
