The only time I really get upset with people is when they do something that is unjust to the overall equilibrium of things. Literally onlyyyyyy time I even have a reason to complain.

Fairness = Justice =\= Equality And I really don’t understand why that’s so hard for some people to grasp.

Also remember to think about how your actions may impede on the experiences of others. You should absolutely make sure you are “good” first and foremost, but most situations where people lack the self awareness to see the consequences of their actions are small yet meaningful.

Examples? Man and woman co-parent and dad wants the weekend off but mom already made plans. Now what? Equal: They each take the kid one day on that weekend Just: One of the parents takes the L in exchange for 2 extra days without the kid during the following week

Two coworkers one comes in at 9, the other comes in at 10. Both need breaks. Equal: Both take break at the same time Just: First person in goes first and second person goes after they come back.

Justice is a virtue (seriously, it’s one of four). Learn it. Respect it. Practice it in your daily life with the people you deal with and see how it changes things.

Oh. And one more example cus y’all love this one. Man and woman cohabitants. Man makes more money than woman but he wants to split the rent. Equality: They both split 50/50. Just: They split the rent by the specific income they bring it In a perfect world: Man pays

What have we learned? 1. Justice is a virtue. It’s seen as the most important one of the 4 (prudence, temperance & fortitude). 2. Justice does NOT mean equal. 3. You practice justice everyday in your life and those judgements effect the lives of others.

*reprisal* Oh and justice can work in the way most of y’all think “karma” works. “Fair” ain’t always “fun” and uplifting. Sometimes fairness is tough love in conjunction with self love. Sometimes it’s saying “no” because you’ve been taken advantage of.

Sometimes it’s standing up for yourself and others in the face of people who are too self absorbed to see how their actions affect others. Sometimes it takes you taking justice into your own hands. It be like that sometime.

But are you gonna sit down and eat shit somebody put on a plate and labeled “food” or are you gonna smell the shit and tell them to eat it if it’s in fact, food? And that’s where fortitude comes in.
