I WILL
I will have the moral courage to speak up when I see something wrong.
I will be impartial even at times when the odds are against me.
I will treat everyone fairly regardless of status, race or religion.
I will not do something that wil benefit myself but hurt others.
MY THOUGHTS
Justice means fairness, and it is the idea behind how laws are put into force.
On one hand, justice means that you have the right to be protected and treated fairly by the law. If somebody does something wrong to you or the people around you, it is fair that that person should be stopped, and that they should have to pay a price for what they did.
Justice also means deciding carefully and fairly whether someone actually did something they are accused of. If there is proof that somebody broke the law, it is fair that they should pay a price for it.
This might mean that if you were found guilty of a crime, the police might take some of your time, your money, or even your freedom as a price for what you did. But it would still be responsible for making sure you could live peacefully and safely during your punishment, and when your punishment was over.
