Justice is the lawful application of truth, principle, and conscience—without favoritism, fear, or exception. Injustice arises when power replaces principle, when laws are bent to protect the guilty and punish the innocent, and when truth is suppressed for convenience or control.
A society cannot endure when injustice is normalized or ignored, as corruption takes root and moral decay spreads. Every era is tested by how it responds to wrongdoing—whether it confronts it with courage and integrity, or excuses it in silence, allowing decay to deepen and corruption to prevail. History ultimately honors those who defend justice, because without it, freedom becomes an illusion and order collapses from within.
