Judgement, or justice, is an obsession of mankind. Yet fair judgement is rare, and perfect judgement impossible. Few consider every aspect needed to be the perfect judge. A frequent saying is as follows: people judge themselves for their intentions, and judge others for their actions. While largely true, this does not hint at perfect justice, because perfect justice requires information that cannot be gathered by human hands. The following is a list of the minimum requirements for perfect judgement:
1. Perfect knowledge of intentions -- knowing what the individual is trying to accomplish and why.
2. Perfect knowledge of actions -- knowing everything the individual did and likely will do.
3. Perfect knowledge of short-term results -- knowing everything which resulted right after a person's actions.
4. Perfect knowledge of long-term results -- knowing everything which resulted long after a person's actions, including the potentials of the future.
5. Perfect alignment with the highest of universe values -- making decisions in accordance with the will of God.
Only God and the Ancients of Days are capable of accessing this kind of data and making the best decision. Humans can attempt to be just, and occasionally they will make the best decision possible, but humans cannot access the vast knowledge required to make the right decision every time.
Speaking of judgement brings me to the topic of mercy, though I believe I have written about this previously. I will define mercy as the following: the reduction in sentence, the removal of a sentence, the stalling of judgement, or the removal of judgement. The requirements for granting perfect mercy has a similar list of minimum attributes:
1. Perfect knowledge of intentions.
2. Perfect knowledge of actions.
3. Perfect knowledge of all potentials being made actuals as a result of the person's decisions.
4. Perfect alignment with the highest values.
5. Perfect knowledge of all potentials being made actuals as a result of mercy.
6. Perfect knowledge of the person's past growth and future potential.
It must be stated though that God cannot always be merciful. Mercy is something that is earned. If mercy was granted to everyone unconditionally, then there could never be justice in the universe. Evil would remain forever. It falls upon God to make the tough decision whether a person (which God instinctively loves) deserves to keep existing or to serve in a particular manner. God must read the soul, and decide what to do in result of an individual's free will decisions. However, there also exists a dual reality where a person is judged by both God and the individual in question, so that the sentence is jointly recognized as fair. The person is granted the ability to see the truth of the matter from which God operates (I believe through the Infinite Spirit). Perhaps mercy is applied in a more automated fashion, the same way actions are known to be right or wrong, or perhaps it is more the role of the Creator Son to provide mercy to the individual while the Ancients of Days recognize how this person would normally be sentenced.
