Why Justice is supposed to be blind

Our ideas about justice will always be filtered through the bias of our own personal experiences. This is true for everyone and unavoidable. 

Mercy only happens when we attempt to imagine what it might be like to live in someone else’s skin. 

At its best, our legal system attempts to do for justice what the scientific method does for facts. Which is to say, it’s supposed to help us ascertain the objective truth. 

Both of these systems are the best we have managed to come up with so far. 

And both of these systems are subject to corruption by another system. Can anyone guess what that is?
