JUSTICE

Is justice our best virtue? Greek philosopher, Plato, said that the law system should have a combination of justice, order, and punishment (BUM-BUM-BUAMM!!). Even still today we try to have justice in our law system. We try to be fair. The symbol of universal justice is a blind-folded lady holding a scale. It represents that every one should be treated equally no matter race, gender, or any of that! Her name is Lady Justice. Justice must be pretty important to be in our law system and have its own symbol (I wish I could have a symbol). But there are plenty of other virtues that are important. Virtues like kindness, humorous, bravery, independence. Take all of those in. What would happen if no one had those virtues? Now think, what would happen if we didn't have justice. The outcome for both would be pretty bad. Personally, I don't think that justice is our best virtue, I think that all virtues play a huge role in life. All virtues are our best virtues because our virtues are what makes us who we are! All virtues have the same role in making us who we are. They define us, they make us.
