Can Mercy co-exist with Justice

Yes Mercy can co-exist with Justice. Mercy, is to act with compassion, and be willing to forgive as compared to Justice, whereby what must be done will be done. In my opinion, although they can co-exist, but mercy should still come above Justice. In a example of the law, a person is a victim of a crime, but if he chooses to forgive the person, the person should be cleared of all charges. Also, if the person deserves mercy, then the judge can be lenient. Mercy can also bring salvation to the person and benefiting both parties, while Justice will benefit none. Thus it is better to have Mercy.

Mercy can only bring about good, and bring salvation for both sides, thus benefiting. Mercy can be seen practiced in many areas, for example, a case in Iran, whereby a woman was splashed with acid from another man, but she chose to forgive him, and he was released of all charges and the punishment which was to blind himself. As the quote from Ghandi, an eye for an eye can only make us blind.

So I feel that Mercy can co-exist with Justice, it is just that Mercy should come over Justice. Mercy is at a much higher level.
