Summary

This quote suggests that the concepts of justice and fairness hold no inherent significance or value in the context of life and nature. It implies that life and nature do not prioritize the achievement of justice or the fair resolution of conflicts. Instead, the quote implies that these concepts are human constructs that may or may not be present or upheld in the larger scheme of existence. It presents a somewhat bleak outlook, emphasizing that justice is not a guaranteed outcome but rather something we must strive for and fight for in a world that may be indifferent to its attainment.
