About This Quote

If justice does come, there may be hope in the face of a seemingly capricious divinity. Justice is what you would expect to find when good prevails over evil. If good prevails, then it is right that justice should prevail. If justice is right, then it will be done.

The idea here is that if the gods are in fact in our favor, then they will do justice when wrongs are committed. When this happens, there may be hope even in the face of a seemingly capricious divinity.
