JMeganSnow is actually correct in this. Justice, when talking of personal virtues, is to always grant people what they have earned. The virtue that best responds to what you, theklng, have described is Pride.theklng said:i disagree. some virtues are fleeting within a confined space. it may be to you that you're opposed to this definition of justice. it all depends on which perspective you look at it from.JMeganSnow said:Then it means nothing to anyone and claiming as a virtue or a vice is utterly pointless.theklng said:just because you see it from your point of view doesn't mean it is the absolute truth. justice means different things to different people.JMeganSnow said:How is this justice, exactly? A just person is one who always grants people precisely what they have earned--under some versions of morality (altruism) being just is considered *cruel*. Justice isn't an altruist virtue, mercy is: the granting of the *unearned*. To an altruist, justice and morality are inevitably and irrevocably opposed.Earthbound said:I always try to make the morally correct choice, regardless of what the consequences may be.
Would it be celibacy or virtue? (for a woman, words like innocence, purity and virtue typically tend to describe her sexually as well as morally)Erana said:Erm... What do you call, the "Anti-slut?"
I don't know the right word, but whatever it is, I'm that.
You're partially right, Charlie. In the sense that if one unreasonably holds their opinion on matters of "justice" above that of other people, it would be a sin of pride. That being said, though, the ability to be just first requires one to determine what each person is due. In some cases, it's fairly easy to do, we have entire legal systems premised on this. But, in terms of moral choices (as divorced from legal ones, both being covered under "justice"), one can argue for the validity of ones position on what someone has "earned". But, that takes us into questions of existentialism, the categorical imperative, and every other butting-of-heads about how to determine what is the just dessert for any particular action.Charlie-two-zero said:JMeganSnow is actually correct in this.

You praise me, partially, for something I never said or intended. And pride isn't just "holding your opinion in high esteem"... that is a value. Pride, the virtue, is the actions taken to EARN that self-esteem in your own eyes. Justice is the esteem in which you hold others actions and values... to each according to their value.Seldon2639 said:If it's of the seven heavenly virtues, I guess I'd say I have (or at least strive for) Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Courage. But, if I had to narrow it down, I'd say it's justice. On that note:
