Summary

This quote highlights the idea that our perspectives and attitudes are not solely influenced by the objective reality of the world, but are rather greatly shaped by interacting with others and engaging with their thoughts and ideas. It suggests that our understanding of the world is subjective and fluid, constantly evolving as we take into consideration the perspectives and beliefs of those around us, often adjusting our own views in the process. In essence, our interactions with others play a vital role in shaping our individual selves and the way we perceive the world around us.

There is no virtue so truly great and godlike as Justice. Most of the other virtues are the virtues of created Beings, or accommodated to our nature as we are men. Justice is that which is practised by God himself, and to be practised in its perfection by none but him. Omniscience and Omnipotence are requisite for the full exertion of it. The one, to discover every degree of uprightness or iniquity in thoughts, words and actions. The other, to measure out and impart suitable rewards and punishments.As to be perfectly just is an attribute in the divine nature, to be so to the utmost of our abilities is the glory of a man. Such an one who has the publick administration in his hands, acts like the representative of his Maker, in recompencing the virtuous, and punishing the offender.
