Quote by Robert G. Ingersoll

Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough to distinguish between the vicious and the unfortunate.

Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough

Summary

This quote suggests that justice should be discerning and able to perceive the difference between those who intentionally act in a harmful or malicious manner (the vicious) and those who have fallen victim to unfortunate circumstances. It implies that justice should not be blind in a way that all offenders are treated equally, regardless of intent or situation. Instead, it advocates for a fair and balanced approach where justice takes into account the nuances of each individual case, ensuring that punishment is appropriate and proportional to the offense committed.

Oddly enough I never used to suffer from depression on cold, gray, cloudy days like this. I feel as if nature is in harmony with me, that it reflected my soul. On the other hand, when the sun appeared, the children would come out to play in the streets, and everyone was happy that it was such a lovely day, and then I would feel terrible, as if that display of exuberance in which i could not participate was somehow unfair.
