I'd say mercy.. because Justice can be very harsh and often times mistranslated.

Consider that carefully. It's been justice tempered with mercy, not mercy tempered with justice, for a long time. There may be good reason.

Pfft, Mercy and justice. Isn't all about vengeance and punishment?

I say mercy also because I think the peace one gets from forgiveness is greater than the peace from vindication (i.e. justice.)

If I have to pick one and only one, I'll choose mercy. I'd rather give another chance at redemption to someone who didn't deserve it than deny a chance to someone who did.

Justice, tempered with Mercy.

I'm thinking of my own children here. You need to teach them right from wrong. They need to know that actions have consequences. But you don't want to be a hard ass who breaks their spirit. So lay out the rules. Let them know what's expected. Be consistent. Dole out the reasonable and proportionate punishments. And every once in a while show some sympathy for their situation because they really are trying their best and sometimes make mistakes.
