It's argued that doing the right things leads to just outcomes, but this isn't always the case. Even taking the right approach may not necessarily result in justice. It's entirely possible that actions taken with good intentions might lead to unjust consequences. In fact, envisioning a just society necessitates the eradication of all injustices experienced by every individual within it. The presence of injustice towards any member of a society, or conversely, the absence or deprivation of justice for even a single person, renders the society unjust.

A society striving for strength might indeed become powerful, but this doesn't automatically equate to being just, as the path to strength might involve perpetrating injustices against many of its members. More crucial than simply seeking justice is the removal of elements or factors contributing to injustice. Progressing towards a just society involves eliminating these elements, bringing us closer to achieving justice.

It's essential to recognize that the injustice experienced by one individual is linked to the injustice experienced by others. If justice is absent for even one person, it implies the presence of injustice for many others as well. We can't perpetrate injustice against one without also doing so against others.

So, what does justice imply? While there may be disagreements about the specifics of justice, no one or no principle can refute the significance of dignity for anyone. Thus, ensuring the availability of dignity for all becomes a necessary condition for attaining justice for everyone.

Thus the  crucial points to consider are thenfollowing-

          

                     1. A truly just society requires eradicating all forms of injustice: The presence of injustice for even one individual casts a shadow on the entire society. Justice is a collective, not individual, pursuit.

                     2. Strengthening a society doesn't equate to making it just: Power gained through oppression or exploitation is hollow and ultimately unsustainable. A just society prioritizes equity and fairness over brute force.

                     3. Removing the root causes of injustice is crucial: Instead of focusing solely on addressing individual injustices, dismantling the systems and structures that perpetuate them is more effective in building a just society.

                      4. Injustice is interconnected: The suffering of one individual is often interconnected with the suffering of others. Ignoring one form of injustice can exacerbate others.

                        5. Dignity for all is a cornerstone of justice: Regardless of specific interpretations of justice, respecting and upholding the inherent dignity of every individual is fundamental.

when striving for a more just world.

     While the path to achieving it is complex and fraught with challenges, our emphasis on systemic change, interconnectedness, and the fundamental right to dignity offers a valuable lens through which to navigate these complexities.
