Justice is the hardest of the four Stoic virtues.
Justice means doing the right thing even when it is hard and unpopular.
Justice requires you to live up to the other three virtues.
Justice requires the wisdom to know what the right thing is in any situation.
“The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.” – Aristotle
Justice requires the courage to do the right thing in the face of people who disagree with you and may even hate you for it.
“Courage is of no value unless accompanied by justice; yet if all men became just, there would be no need for courage.” – Agesilaus the Second
Justice requires the discipline to do the right thing again and again.
“[A] man has it in his power to be just, if he have but the will to be so.” – Plutarch, Lives: Life of Cato the Younger
We need to be just because it is the right thing no matter what others do or if we get praise.
“Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.” – Marcus Aurelius.
Justice is the reward in its own right. Don’t worry about what others think. What you think and do is all that matters.
Be strict with yourself and tolerant of others.
