Living Justly

It is impossible to live pleasurably without living wisely, well and justly, and impossible to live wisely, well and justly without living pleasurably. ~ Epicurus (For Today [Kindle Locations 3144-3145])
...and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? ~ Micah 6:8, KJV

Justice is treating people right.
That doesn't mean making everybody alike,
creating all equally, precisely divvying up the cheese,
creating cookie-cutter folk.
Justice is treating people right.
When I act justly, I treat people right,
give them respect, honor their needs, acknowledge concern,
but I'm not their savior, their leader, their mother, their judge.
Justice is treating people right.
I can't deny their thoughts, needs, wants,
though I have no need to meet them. Maybe guide,
maybe support, but not interfering or manipulating.
Justice is treating people right.
I'm a people, with needs, ideas, goals, plans.
I must respect myself, welcome growth,
allow success though insecurities want to disagree.
Justice is treating people right.
I will respect people, honor them, aid in change,
sympathize, encourage, support them. Including me.
I'll treat all God's people right.
