Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Summary

This quote suggests that there are two distinct understandings of justice. Justice given out of love is portrayed as an act of surrender, where individuals willingly let go of their personal grievances and offer forgiveness or leniency towards others. On the other hand, justice distributed by the law is seen as punishment, implying a more rigid and unforgiving approach to meting out consequences for wrongdoing. The quote highlights the contrasting motivations and consequences associated with these two forms of justice, emphasizing the transformative and compassionate nature of justice driven by love.
