How does this text make you think about justice in the world? This is for the book I just finished the Five People You'll Meet In Heaven. This is a book about a man who dies and goes to heaven. But it's not as simple as that, he meets five different people from when he was alive, but are now dead.
He is greeted by a man from his army, his wife , his father, a man from his work, a normal man and the love of his life. He is so confused when he first arrives. Also it makes he think about his whole life and right and wrong. Like he asks "where is my punishment?" Isn't that what i am here for." It really makes me think about justice in the world. Also about how so many people don't get caught from their wrongs. It makes me think about how some people are willing to pay the price for what they have done and others are not.
Also he meets his father. His father the one who resented him and didn't want him around. Now they are confessing to each other. The father on his death bed said his name. The son never knew that and resented his father from the moment he died. But now here is the justice. His father, this is his justice, his son getting angry and resenting him now he isn't angry he is sad. Is this justice?
So I try to think of justice and all its forms. Is it okay for people to be mad at you even though you have kept some things hidden from them, even if it's for their own good? It makes me wonder because I think of Karma and Justice together, they seem to go together though which should be.
