Summary

This quote suggests that when individuals have a strong bond of friendship, the concept of justice becomes less relevant. In the context of friendship, people naturally treat each other with kindness, compassion, and fairness, negating the need for strict justice. However, the quote highlights that even in a just society, cultivating and maintaining friendships remains important. Friendship serves as an additional support system, fostering trust and empathy, ultimately complementing and enhancing the pursuit and practice of justice.
