The foundation of justice is good faith.

Summary

This quote suggests that the essence of justice lies in the trust and sincerity that underpins it. Justice can only be achieved when individuals, institutions, and systems operate with transparency, honesty, and integrity. Good faith involves possessing honorable intentions and acting in a trustworthy manner, hence fostering a fair and equal society. Without a foundation of good faith, justice becomes compromised and difficult to achieve, making it essential for justice seekers to uphold this fundamental principle.

As somebody who, in my second marriage, insisted on a prenuptial agreement, I can also testify that sometimes it is an act of love to chart the exit strategy before you enter the union, in order to make sure that not only you, but your partner as well, knows that there will be no World War III should hearts and minds, for any sad reason, change.
