Summary

This quote suggests that both human nature and societal norms support the idea that committing wrongful actions is more shameful than enduring injustice. It implies that justice is intrinsically linked to equality, emphasizing the importance of treating all individuals fairly and ensuring that everyone is held accountable for their actions. Both custom and natural instinct evidently align with the belief that engaging in unjust behavior tarnishes one's character, while fighting for the principle of equality aligns with justice.
