Quote by Junius

How much easier is it to be generous than just.

How much easier is it to be generous than just.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is often easier for people to be generous and give freely rather than to uphold justice and fairness. Being generous requires acts of kindness and empathy, while justice involves making impartial decisions based on equitable principles. It suggests that generosity might come more naturally to individuals as it allows them to give without considering the complexities of justice or the potential consequences of their actions. However, it could also be interpreted as a critique, highlighting the importance of prioritizing justice, even if it is more challenging than simply being generous.
