The participants, the players and the results are the process. It's more akin to Plato asking if there's a disconnected set of ideals in some cave or something. We have human processes that render results and that is the best we can expect.

Justice doesn't exist in this world in which its denizens are nothing but depraved parasites, taking everything and giving nothing.

Justice exists, if at all, in the hereafter.

I endeavor to be just, but in being "my just", I might be another's injustice. I argue for justice but never expect it from another individual.

I don't worry about being disappointed; we are frequently disappointed. However, if we expect something that will never be, we will become disillusioned.

Phew- good thing you have found a way to avoid being disillusioned. Your approach is clearly working.
