Sir Isaac Newton identified three laws with respect to motion: 1. An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by force. An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by a force. (When I was a child and thought as a child, my "criteria" for life was in the identification of independent "motion" brought about by "self" propulsion - an "inner" force acting upon an "external.") 2. Force = Mass X Acceleration and 3. With respect to "interaction" between objects, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
That third "law" having to do with interactions between objects is relevant to the discussion on JUSTICE. It is the very principle which causes a balance to level. The "energy" or "force" has to come to some state of equilibrium. The same discussion could be had with respect to "actions having consequences." There are "natural" consequences to our actions and then there are "perceptual" consequences to our actions. A moment should be spent addressing the difference. The "Natural" consequences are manifest "externally" into our dimensionality and the "perceptual" may or may not be dependent upon the "intelligence" that is offended or delighted. This speaks to "Absolute Truth" versus "Relative Truth." Absolute Truth "reality" deals with Heavenly Father acting "consciously" in HIS ether, (Light of Christ) and Relative Truth (internal, conscious reality) deals with each one of us acting in OUR OWN ether, (Light of Christ,) at a lesser intensity and inwardly, unless created and released externally. Karma is very much at work, here, in that the "energy" has to be dissipated in some way to bring back equilibrium to the system.
The very remarkable Savior, brought equilibrium by absorbing the negative energy without reflective vengeance, being true to His teachings of turning the other cheek and loving your enemies, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Much energy was dissipated in the earthquake that proceeded His death and rent the inner veil in twain. He provided a way to escape the "compound in one," opposites - good and evil - bipolarity.
