JUSTICE

a) Justice

        Within the world of work, and the economy in general, there must be one virtue that regulates everything: it is the virtue of justice.

        Justice consists of giving each person what is due to them, and giving more to those most in need, and it can be of 3 types:

- Commutative. It consists of receiving according to one's output (if you have worked 4 hours, you receive 4);

- Distributive. It consists of receiving according to one's needs (if one is disabled, one receives for 4 hours what was worked in 3);

- Social. It consists of giving everything to the common good (if you have worked 4, you give 0.4% to the common treasury).

        In order for justice to prevail, the following must also be taken into account:

-not everything that is legal is moral,

-not everything that is possible is necessary.

        Morality always takes precedence over legality, and necessity always takes precedence over morality. The possible leads to the good, the good leads to the best.

b) Values ​​of justice

        It is the collection of goods belonging to others that other people cannot obtain, but which we have in excess and must share. These are the works of mercy, both material and spiritual goods.

These are material         values ​​of justice :

-visit and care for the sick,

-feed the hungry,

-correct those who error

-patiently endure the faults of others,

-pray to God for the living and the dead.
