Perfectly Just

Can I ever be a perfectly just person? Probably not...although I will try at times throughout my life. A perfectly just person is someone who is portrayed as unjust, but is actually just. Not to be confused with being seen and looked down on as unjust...I mean it more of like...invisible. This is all theoretical. The point is that when we are good people..."just" people...we still reap the benefits of our good works, whether it be status, respect, pride, etc.

But can we do something and let someone else take credit for it and still be content? Or how about donating a million dollars to a charity and never revealing that you were the donor...to anyone. Sometimes it is quite doable. And the internal pleasure is more than enough. But the perfectly just person does this at all times. So we've still got some room to learn.

Again, I'm not saying that we should all be like this at times. It's okay to get that respect and recognition...quite okay. But as long as that is not our main motive for our "good" actions. Ah, to be humbled...
