Justice

"Justice is being fair in all that we do. We continually look for the truth, not bowing to others' judgments or perceptions. We do not backbite. We clear up problems face to face. We make agreements that benefit everyone equally. When we commit a wrong, we are honest in correcting it and making amends. If someone is hurting us, it is just to stop them. It is never just for strong people to hurt weaker people. With justice, we protect everyone's rights. Sometimes when we stand for justice, we stand alone."

-excerpts from the Virtues Reflection cards with permission from Linda Kavelin Popov.

With all of the recent news about Osama bin Laden, justice seems to be a timely topic. It seems to be a good time to read, think and reflect about justice. Just as our opinions are different on different topics, our opinions on justice may be different. I see reading about Justice as an invitation to reflect on our own choices.

Questions for reflection:

1. How do I clear up problems face to face?

2. How do I make amends when I have done something wrong?

3. How do I continually look for the truth?
