      Yeah, it only works if you assume that afterlife and reincarnation exist.

    Justice world hypothesis assumes no injustices can happen in the world. Therefore it's wrong.

      This plus it's harmful thinking in the long run since you believe a killer will eventually get their punishment when that is not always the case. Not saying to go no mercy mode but some people are like a rabid dog. Only thing you can do is put them down because they are so concrete in their actions, they will never stop.

        Not believing in it will eat you on the long run, we've created religions and ideologies for a reason.

        I don't know about that, believing there's retribution for every action doesn't mean you can't be a part of it.
        Even religious societies that make retribution happen in afterlife or in the next life are not indifferent to injustice.

      It's more about assuming that the perpetrators of injustices get their just dues and that people that do good things will be rewarded. It's still wrong obviously, just a cope that helps people live life. Accepting that life isn't fair would make a lot of people miserable.

    I don't, my personal belief is that death is freedom as your life could be the best based on your opinion or the worst unfathomable suffering but at the end you die which releases you from this horrible world.

    Not really, I believe in the idea, but I reckon poor decision making acts as the building blocks to create the outcome rather than some divine force. It's nothing up to fate or destiny or some sort of moral power dealing out justice like wikipedia says
    > This belief generally implies the existence of cosmic justice, destiny, divine providence, desert, stability, and/or order
    Rather, people are idiots who make bad mistakes, are too ignorant or foolish to recognise them and it lands them in hot water. In this case, they deserve what they get for being foolish and careless, not thinking things through fully.

    For example, getting completely blackout drunk or really high at a big party with a bunch of strangers and then something bad happening to you.

    In this case, you reap what you sow because you didn't know your limits, consciously overdid it and made the assumption that everyone is nice and caring and wants the best for you. Again, its a culmination of bad choices.

    Obviously no, or the legal system wouldn't need to exist.

    What if I believe wrongdoers will get what they deserve, but bad things happening to you should not be a cause of sufrering?
    Doing injustices to people is bad, but having them done to you isn't.
    Where would that place me?

    It's cope for people afraid to admit the world can be cruel and unfair.

    this doesn't work even a little bit without an afterlife like reincarnating as a rich man after getting killed or reincarnating as a bug after killing someone

    A just world can only be achieved through a just society made of just people.
