Other animals can make sounds, and sounds can indicate pleasure and pain. But language, a distinctly human capacity, isn´t just for registering pleasure and pain. It´s about declaring what is just and what is unjust, and distinguishing right from wrong. We don´t grasp these things silently, and then put words to them; language is the medium through which we discern and deliberate about the good.

العدالة : عدالتان .. عدالة الأغنياء و عدالة الفقراء..
أما عدالة الأغنياء فهى اللتى تجعل المنديل الذى تعصب به عينيها من الحرير الشفاف لترى من خلاله .. أو أنها تجعل هذا المنديل حول خصرها لترقص لكل من يعزف على القانون .. أما عدالة الفقراء فهى التى فقأت عينيها و لذلك تحكم بالسجن و الغرامة على سارق الرغيف !
و ليس هذا عدلا و إنما هو الظلم العنيف لأنه ظلم للناس و لمعنى العدل أيضا
!
و هو عقاب مضاعف للفقراء : أنهم فقراء و أنهم لصوص
و هى مكافأة مضاعفة للأغنياء : أنهم أغنياء و أنهم أبرياء دائما

The primitive idea of justice is partly legalized revenge and partly expiation by sacrifice. It works out from both sides in the notion that two blacks make a white, and that when a wrong has been done, it should be paid for by an equivalent suffering. It seems to the Philistine majority a matter of course that this compensating suffering should be inflicted on the wrongdoer for the sake of its deterrent effect on other would-be wrongdoers; but a moment's reflection will shew that this utilitarian application corrupts the whole transaction. For example, the shedding of blood cannot be balanced by the shedding of guilty blood. Sacrificing a criminal to propitiate God for the murder of one of his righteous servants is like sacrificing a mangy sheep or an ox with the rinderpest: it calls down divine wrath instead of appeasing it. In doing it we offer God as a sacrifice the gratification of our own revenge and the protection of our own lives without cost to ourselves; and cost to ourselves is the essence of sacrifice and expiation.

He was expressing his certainty that my appeal would be granted, but I was carrying the burden of a sin from which I had to free myself. According to him, human justice was nothing and divine justice was everything. I pointed out it was the former that had condemned me.

Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.
