Quote by Victor Hugo

Being good is easy, what is difficult is being just.

Being good is easy, what is difficult is being just.

Summary

This quote suggests that acting in a righteous manner and doing good deeds may be relatively simple, but truly embodying justice is much harder. While doing good involves positive actions, being just requires thoughtful consideration, making fair decisions, and treating all individuals with equitable treatment and fairness. It implies that true justice necessitates a deeper understanding of ethical principles and the ability to navigate complex moral dilemmas, making it a more challenging virtue to embody than simply doing what is considered "good."

The theory of relativity worked out by Mr. Einstein, which is in the domain of natural science, I believe can also be applied to the political field. Both democracy and human rights are relative concepts - and not absolute and general.

We do this basically for ourselves. People appreciate it, which is cool, but I think they appreciate that we're doing it for ourselves. We're doing it our way, and how people like it is not up to us. We like it.
