In Praise of Injustice

All the world praises justice, but who speaks up for injustice? And yet injustice is a boon second only to justice itself. In fact, it is often better, as I shall insist.

It is unjust that an old man, after hauling at a marlin all night, should finally reach shore with only the skeleton. But what would he be if the sharks had not done their job? Just a man peddling fish at the back door of a hotel.
