So just what is justice.

Is it getting even with someone who has wronged you? Is it seeing someone put behind bars for committing a crime?  What is justice to you?

Is it taking vengeance for some ill conceived notion that you have been wronged?  That somehow taking a gun to another human being in anger over a disagreement or perceived insult means you have exacted justice, righted some wrong?

Sometimes I have to wonder if this world even remembers what justice truly means.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm any better.  When I'm sent to stop some dark agent from fulfilling their desires by any means necessary. 

I'm only human, with human desires for what I perceive as a wrong.  Sometimes I have to sit back and wonder if I am truly doing the will if the One I serve or if I'm bringing some of my own human prejudices with me. 

Justice is indeed a fickled Mistress.Such a thin like between what is right and what is wrong.  And yet, I am drawn on a regular basis to put on my hunting gear, call my lodge and go on the hunt once more.

My name this lifetime is Sir Adam Sinclair. I am a psychiatrist by trade and Lord over my manor.  Of course I could do nothing without my ever present man Humphrey.  He has been with my family for years and now he is with me.  I can't believe how he can almost read my mind and tend to my needs before I even realize anything.

I am also a hunter, a kind of law enforcer but that information is privy to only a few close friends.

But please, come around and visit.  I'll share with you stories and tales of my land and my legacy over the most wonderful scones and tea. 

There is always room in my home for honest travelers and searcher of truth.
