Was Howard's Loss - "Universal Law of Recompense".

[Watson, John]

At the risk of prolonging this ...
People bring upon themselves the consequences of their own actions, the
"Universal Law".
We have a justice system which should be used to ensure miscreants are
punished and recompense made.
The existence of one does not invalidate the other.

Divine Justice will eventually be meted out to the person who has cheated

"getting just deserts"  etc.  I have heardthat a similar teaching is found
in
Islam

This is all well and good, but sometimes Human Justice (not revenge) is
called for.
Of course, some of those with faith-driven value systems will disagree with
me, but sure and swift Human Justice is preferable to hypotheses about
eventual Divine Justice, in my personal logic-driven value system.  Howard
