As someone who's also glad, the falsehood that we get what we deserve after we die is a very harmful one.

Justice doesn't come naturally or in some fairy tale afterlife. Justice came to Brian because someone else saw to it that it did.

The world would be a better place if people weren't deluded into believing the universe or some imagined deity will make things fair. It's a very pretty lie, but it has equally ugly consequences.

If we want a just world, we need to make one. It won't be handled off screen for us. This life is all we get.
