Justice and Mercy

To me, justice and mercy are a pair of ideas that, while they don't always work together, they can be two of the best partners in judgement. Justice, to me, means upholding the law and punishing wrong-doers. However, mercy is being kind and compassionate to those in need. Because of that, it makes giving judgement to a person who is down on luck sort of difficult to one who has not done it before. Sometimes though, all it takes is a tender heart to give proper judgement and punishment to those who deserve it.
