What violates justice

1. It is difficult for a person who has an unregulated love for money, relatives, acquaintances, the homeland, your association, and anything at all. After that, he can also refer to just laws to achieve them as an advantage for oneself and oneself, to the detriment of others. Protection and partisanship are then no longer considered injustice, but love and care for one’s own. St. Basil asks why there is so little justice in the world. It appears to him that this is partly because few people are prudent and reasonable enough to judge things correctly. But even that has its cause not so much in mental weakness as before in that “the soul is captive to human considerations and affection, and thus common sense is obscured.”

2. The bad habit of committing with the peaceful conscience of the little ones’ injustice slowly obscures our sense of pure virtue. It can hardly be considered a sin when a boy climbs the fence to be free on the sports field. No one says he went on the train further than he had a ticket, that he did not state a side income in the tax return. The powder is not dirt, but clothes often dusty to become dirty. And in dirty clothes, we are no longer afraid to go to mud.

. There4. Parents, teachers, and all educators should realize that they have a very subtle sense of justice, babies. Seemingly insignificant iniquities tend to be for the life experience and need a crisis, loss of ideals, excitement for good. Children are sensitive to the fact that the teacher has his “darlings” and “rascals” that the mother always agrees that the father laughs at the boyish whimsy once and other times they get upset and cod the same behavior. Evil after him, children will be brought to life by believing that adults are always right, that older siblings must always give up because they are stronger and that they may never apologize, even though they may have been wrong.

5. Regularly unjust, if we are not saints, be to the poor, the neglected, the unintelligent. It is quite natural that we feel resistance to the dirty
dress, tactless and rude behavior. We don’t like when someone asks us for something. It’s a shame to waste time listening to uninteresting and dull speech. We will not discuss with someone who cannot understand what we want to tell him. And yet, most people are like that and are certainly before God better than us. Who cannot control these antipathies? How can it be fair?

6. Close coexistence in the family, school boarding house, in the military, in the workshop, seminar, religious society, etc., requires a finer sense of equality of rights for all members. The more obvious the differences are, the closer the coexistence, much like the unequal length of the three arms disturbs when they are side by side. There is a kind of social friendship; individuals do not want exceptions for themselves; they do not want to have a privileged position with the superiors. If they receive a gift, they know how to divide it, to reach everyone, not just some. A road person does not like to use for himself a permit that was different unreasonably withheld. This whole behavior suggests trying to make a few differences as possible.

7. Education for social justice is a requirement today. Because people are more in touch, closer together, you change, differences must necessarily be made. Social justice cannot be addressed by sentimental challenges or by superficial or demagogic passwords from newspapers and camps. It requires honest and prudent study, lively interest, and a sense of other people, though distant and unknown. Most of the discrepancies come from violations of neighbor’s law. Justice and peace are kissed (Ps 84, 11). St. Augustine interprets these words of the psalm: «do justice, and you will have peace … These two virtues also like each other very much, they kiss … They are two girlfriends. You might want one, but not the other. Do you want to have peace? All people answer unanimously: I want to I love him, I long for him. So love justice because she is a friend of peace. » Pius XII. became the pope at the beginning of the great world war. He was well aware of how little would help in these circumstances, shallow encouragement to reconcile no. So he put the familiar Latin motto in the sign: «Opus iustitiae pax. – Peace is a work of justice. “
