Day 49 (Forty-nine) of 365 days

Giving to others what they are rightly due. A just person is distinguished by habitual right thinking and treating others fairly, and is someone who promotes equity. To develop the virtue of justice, it’s important to guide ourselves to stand up against unfair practices, defend the innocent, not blame the victim, and give to those in need.

The question now is how many are following the path of justice. We live in a materialistic world, where ethics, laws and orders etc are less cared about. Everything can be purchased with money even love and respect. People generally measure others on the scale of richness, the more rich a person is the more will be his love and respect in the society and vice versa.

The idea of honesty and hard-working can hardly make a person rich. How can a poor even dream of changing his financial status? More than half of his day is wasted doing lower level and low paid jobs. Even, if he tried to find new work or start a business, he has no capital or money to bribe higher officials.

There is a need to change the system of bribe and unjust. Justice must reach the poor. Everyone has equal rights to justice, but the problem is many times poor are uneducated and unaware of the injustice happening to them. They work on lower wages and feel grateful to their masters not knowing they are the ones exploiting them.

We all need to embrace diversity. Looking at others based on what society has imbibed in them can make us unjust. Treat everyone not because of their religion, tribe or identity but because we are all 'humans’. This will not only change our perspective on how we relate with others, but also make us fair in our dealings.
