? Generally speaking, the fixed quality of justice is embodied in the following three behaviors:
First, obeying the law is justice.
Offenders are obviously unjust, because the general view is that law is the embodiment of justice, and breaking the law is of course a violation of justice.
? However, people here often question it. Aristotle once put forward the concept of the distinction between good law and evil law, which violated the evil law. Can you call it injustice?
? The answer is that it is unjust to violate evil laws. Aristotle has done in-depth investigation and study on various political systems and laws in ancient Greece, and of course he also knows that there are many evil laws. Then why not restrict it and just say that it is unjust to violate the "good law"
? Because the essence of "law" is the public instrument of human beings, whether it is man-made or customary etiquette, and the specific actions of individuals are accidental, whether justice needs a recognized standard to measure. A just person must be a person of law-abiding character, and a just country must also be a country of law-abiding character.
Second, taking what you deserve is justice.
Justice has a basic feature that is inseparable from "distribution": a person takes as much as he deserves, and no more or less is justice.
? Its logic is that the country's resources and products are limited. If you take more than you deserve, you will inevitably occupy the part that others deserve. This is greed and injustice. At the same time, it is unjust to endure the greed of others and not get what you deserve, which is a more hidden evil and undermines the balanced order of justice.
? For China people who have always appreciated "being confused is not easy" and "losing is a blessing", the latter point seems particularly difficult to understand. However, it is impossible to maintain long-term stability if the society allows this kind of behavior by default or even encourages it in disguise. Because no one really wants to endure unfair treatment all the time, the long-term unbalanced distribution will inevitably drown out the peaceful mentality, and even those who are greedy for more and occupy less will not get peace, especially if they can't live with peace of mind, the country will eventually fall apart.
Third, respecting fairness is justice.
? First of all, justice and fairness do not mean simplicity and unity, but treat the inherent differences between people equally. Plants have the soul quality of plants, animals have the soul quality of animals, people have the soul quality of people, and the soul quality of all living things is equal. In life, it is absurd not to associate social class with the quality of human soul and the natural endowment of human beings, and try to prove that human beings are hierarchical.
? Secondly, fairness should cover the equality of all citizens, not only based on the mathematical concept of average, but also as a standard of fairness, otherwise the true meaning of fairness will be misunderstood; In addition, in pursuit of individual absolute freedom, everyone has his own desire, that is, savage and vulgar freedom and equality, that is, equality that leads to mutual harm; Justice and fairness are based on the common interests of the group, and everyone who respects the right to fairness is just, and the Excellence and Excellence of this quality can only be guaranteed and embodied in the order of group justice.
