After reading the Gospel, the line ”While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me” struck me. For me, justice is something that should be done whole-heartedly. In this Gospel, the judge gave justice to the widow. Yes, he did give justice. But I saw it as something he was forced to do. That, for me, is not true justice.
In relation to the DLSUCET, the gospel teaches me about justice. While taking the test, I tried my best to apply justice by keeping my eyes on my own paper. Alongside this kind of honesty is my faith. I prayed hard to the Lord to help me answer the exam as best as I could. And indeed, the prayer was of great help.
The Gospel teaches me to be just and honest. Before the semestral break, tests are being conducted in different subject areas. The fact that the sembreak is almost coming makes me excited, and eventually makes me a little bit lazy to study for the tests. However, I still tried my best to study and even though I didn’t know how to answer some of the items in the test, I still applied honesty and justice by not copying from my classmates.
“Justice is the tolerable accommodation of the conflicting interests of society, and I don't believe there is any royal road to attain such accommodation concretely.” - Judge Learned Hand, in P. Hamburger, The Great Judge, 194. Justice is definitely open for everyone; for all classes in the society, for all religions, and for all of mankind. We should treat everyone with equality, and everyone has the right to acquire justice.
