Justice: What Is Fair?
Justice is the upholding of what is right and fair, ensuring that individuals receive what they deserve, whether that be reward or consequence, without bias or prejudice. It is fundamental to a flourishing human life because it provides a framework for social harmony, individual security, and the belief that our actions matter in a world governed by fairness.
