Justice

Description

“Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.”
~ Blaise Pascal


In the Tarot, Justice is fairly forthright in her meaning. She stands for (go figure) justice, fairness, and doing what is right. While many of us see justice as an external force that is applied when wrongdoing occurs, it is far more likely to occur in our own minds every single day. Each of us, in our own way, must decide what is moral, ethical, and right. Justice is not only a punishment for crimes, it is also the force which prevents them in the first place. This card, I believe, stands far more for the scales balancing in our hearts than those in a courtroom.

"—Justice? You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law." - Wm Gaddis

I'm thilled to have come across you gallery. The quality of the work is fabulous (and consistently so), your subjects (and their descriptions) show great erudition, and your tone ranges from witty to snarky to smart and to serious. I regret that I don't have more time to sit in front of my computer and digest it all right now, but that gives me something to look forward to.
