Summary

In this quote, the speaker reflects on their frequent use of the word "unjust" to criticize unfair situations or treatment. However, their perspective has evolved over time. They now see unjust circumstances as a reflection of their own reluctance to stand up against mistreatment. Rather than continually seeking justice, the speaker expresses a growing desire to prioritize their own well-being and refuse to endure any further violations, regardless of the perceived ideals of fairness.
