Killing and being killed

When i was young and unwise to the ways of Achaea, i too was killed but such people as Swordman and Dalamar. Merely for walking a road or hunting an animal. There was no solid excuse given to me for any death i've ever gotten but i realized something. Achaea isn't a world which one can seek justice in an easy way. Most see justice as being killed then killing, teaming, or hiring someone to kill the person which had murdered the person. This has slowly taken shape as justice here and has become common practice. If i killed you then you would harbor hate for me and would want to kill me.
Personally, i don't see anyway of escaping this form of justice because the majority of Sapience practices it. But the true act of justice would be to judge a person on their crime and give a fit punishment for the crime commited. The thousands of aspects which come into play in this foreign justice would be very hard to implement and so it will most likely never be.

Many see Achaea as a killing ground and the only way to avoid this killing ground vision is to either burrow underground for eternity or to assume an everlasting role of grace. Peace is a beatiful vision that is absent of war, hate, and injustice.

Peace is out there!
