Justice is the correction of evil and wrong. There are no grades of purity. It is always within reach if we act. But I agree about being honest and admitting we can't achieve justice in some situations and settle for preventing harm to others, we need to be honest about that. The core principle you must understand is, in order to administer justice you must accept that guilty people will not have provable criminal intent most of the time and will retain their innocence. But when criminal intent is provable, all effort must be made to administer a fair punishment while allowing victims to show mercy. Your statement about relationships makes sense, I would say establishing sociental trust is the primary step needed before establishing any rule of law that serves as the contract between the government and the people.
