Booklet Text
Justice, one of the four Cardinal Virtues, is the ability to weigh issues fairly, with reason and understanding. This also means affording to other people their rights, regardless of if you agree with the specifics of those rights. Knowing when you are being unreasonable and making an adjustment. Being fair to others, but also yourself. This suggests weighing the pros and cons heavily and trying to look at all angles of the scenario, all the evidence, and of course, not rushing to judgment. So being able to make a sound decision that’s fair. It also suggests that you will get what you deserve, no matter what, which can be a double-edged sword. In other words, you will reap what you sow. Please note that justice does not mean “punishment,” though punishment could be the result of justice. Justice is about treating everyone fairly, without bias, even if you don’t like them or if they belong to a different religion or political party or have different ideas. Justice is blind. Justice is balanced.
