Is justice more important than peace?

I think it depends. I'm sure there are people who didn't get justice when the Good Friday Agreement was signed, but peace was achieved, and who knows how many lives that saved? But was it worth it? People who lost loved ones and wanted justice for their deaths might say not, others might say yes.

No justice is a mirage created by those in power at the time who set the rules

Once vikings were criminal raiders then they were rulers depends what side of power your on like everything

Justice is usually more important by the way. Imo.

You can get justice but it doesn't settle the loss.

No I don’t think it is. Because with peace you gain freedom from the pain of whatever wronged you. That’s why I always choose to forgive no matter how hard that can be

"No I don’t think it is. Because with peace you gain freedom from the pain of whatever wronged you. That’s why I always choose to forgive no matter how hard that can be "

If we're talking personal peace vs personal justice...if it's a choice between achieving a feeling of peace while the people who have wronged me get away with it, or they get some form of justice but I still don't feel at peace, I'll take being at peace.

Yes. Peace can just be another way to make the oppressed shut the fuck up.

There's more peace than before, definitely. But there's still an undercurrent of issues in NI. For example, the off duty police officer who was shot in his car after taking football training for young people.

I was just about to bring that up! That was my first ever vote. I voted for the agreement. Yes lots of IRA prisoners got released and power sharing was put back in place. Yeah this didn't sit will with hardcore loyalists and famines of innocent victims but what was the alternative? More decades of violence. I walked to school past buses still on fire and roads covered in plastic bullets. Could tell you many stories! But Belfast has thrived since then and is a different place. I look at my niece and nephew, they are growing up without the hatred around them, no army on the streets. Its will just be something they will learn in history class.

Yeah but it's just unorganised thugs that will fade over the years. Same with the orange order, last 12th of July parade I went to was in 2010 I think. The lodges had about 6 old men. Young people have no interest in dressing up like mr Ben! Eventually it will be history

I'd settle for achieving the goal of lasting peace, which can solve more ills and prevent more now ones

The relationship between justice and peace is complex and intertwined. Both are essential values to strive for in society and the specific circumstances and context play a significant role in determining which may be prioritized in a given situation.

So I guess we need more info OP. Are they mutually exclusive values in your post?
