remember however, things in mechanics/mathematics/engineering/physics/chemistry/etc. are generally fixed.

things in my disciplines (political science & public admin) are SELDOM, if ever, fixed as men/women change weekly/daily/hourly/constantly (for that reason, i often think that Political Science is an oxymoron.).

But how can justice exist without a fixed, and logical, criteria for both application and execution? It honestly cannot, and this is why the relative-morality is fatally flawed; IOW, Justice is and must be objective, it is NOT subjective.

Mercy, on the other hand, is completely subjective; yet it cannot exist without justice. That is simply allowing wrong to flourish under guise of ‘mercy’ is no mercy at all! (It could be an excuse to avoid confrontation, or to risk something... but it is not mercy.)
