The first idea I'd like to bring up is Ma'at, which is roughly equivalent to the western idea of justice - but with an important distinction. Ma'at wasn't about punishment or vengeance; it was about restoration, harmony and balance. One way to think about it is this: when someone violates a boundary, they have knocked the system out of balance, and Ma'at is there to restore that balance by restoring that boundary. If someone steals your bike, Ma'at seeks not to punish them as much as it seeks to return your bike. Of course this isn't always possible - in cases where you can't get your bike back, you might be compensated with something else. The point being: Ma'at is an active force for restoring balance when there's been a violation..... If you want to go further with this discussion...
