Principles: 3) Seek the Heart of Justice


Justice is a word derived from Latin indicating righteousness, equity, uprightness. Equity is from Latin meaning even, just, equal.  

The heart of justice would be the very core of what justice means: a morally correct, good, fair, proper, fitting, straight (not crooked) direct manner.  

To seek the heart of justice is to seek to be morally correct, good, proper, fitting, not convoluted or off-track, direct in manner and producing upright, even treatment of all people.  

Living by a moral code is most likely to produce a “straight line” that does not waver, is not crooked.  It is most useful in determining your principles for living.   

Living without a moral code that results in justice is like trying to draw a straight-line freehanded.  It never results in as straight a line as desired.

Seek the heart of justice.  Be morally upright and demonstrate equity.  Develop a code of moral conduct by which you live.  

These are good principles for living.
