The Habits of a Just Person

We all have our definitions of justice. Some people believe in using the law to punish those who commit crimes; others believe that we should forgive and move on. But regardless of your personal belief system, there are certain habits that every just person has:

They don't play the blame game.

A just person doesn't play the blame game. They don't blame others for their own mistakes, or for the things that go wrong in their lives. Instead of making excuses, they take responsibility for their actions and emotions. Just people know that there's no such thing as a "perfect" life; we all make mistakes along the way that affect everyone else around us—but learning from these mistakes is what makes us stronger humans!

They embrace forgiveness.

It is a choice that we can make in our own lives. It does not mean we forget what happened, condone the offense, or show weakness. Forgiveness is simply an act of self-love.

The only chance we have at a meaningful relationship with others is if we have one with ourselves first. If you don't forgive yourself for past mistakes and become fully present in your life now, then how can you expect to find someone who will?

They have an open mind.

A just person is an open-minded person. Open-mindedness means being willing to consider new ideas, change your mind when presented with good evidence, and hear other people's opinions. Being open-minded also means listening to others—whether they are family members, friends or strangers—and value their perspective. We can't all be right all of the time, but we can never truly grow as people if we remain unwilling to listen and learn from one another

They say "no" to toxic people.

A just person knows the value of their time and will use it wisely. As a result, they say “no” to toxic people. It’s not worth your time to be around someone who doesn't respect you or your values. Instead, you should surround yourself with people who are good for your mental health, physical health, and relationships.

They act out of love and empathy for others, not greed and selfishness.

A just person acts out of love and empathy for others, not greed and selfishness. Think about it: What is the difference between a greedy person and a just one? A greedy person will do anything to get what they want without regard for how it affects others. A just person will only do what is best for everyone involved. This means that when you see someone acting in an unjust way, ask yourself why they are doing so. Someone who loves their neighbor will respect their boundaries and try not to take advantage of them or manipulate them into getting what they want, but someone who is greedy may steal from them or use emotional manipulation tactics (like guilt) to get what they want without caring whether their actions cause harm on another individual or group of people

They support the success of others.

They support the success of others.

The habit of supporting others is a great way to build trust, relationships and your own success. It’s also an excellent way to be happy! When you support other people’s success, it makes them feel good about themselves and it creates positive energy around you. It’s easy to be passive-aggressive or competitive when someone else achieves something big—but instead of focusing on what you are missing out on or trying to make yourself better than another person, think about how that person can help you achieve your goals as well.

Being just is something you practice every day, with actions big and small.

Being just is a daily practice, not an end goal. It's something you can strive for, but it's unlikely that you'll ever achieve perfection. Instead of letting this discourage you, use it as motivation to keep trying.

Being just means being kind to yourself when you inevitably fall short of your goals or expectations—to recognize that the day-to-day process of being just is more important than the occasional lapse in judgment or oversight on your part. You may never stop striving towards justice, but if today looks like a failure by your standards (or anyone else's), remember: "it was only yesterday that I knew how far away I am from perfect."

Being just is something you practice every day, with actions big and small. So why not start today? You can be a better person by choosing to act justly, no matter what your circumstances may be—even when it’s hard or uncomfortable!
