Justice is when each person or group is given what is due them based on their intentions,

efforts, or effects on the world. When one does well in the world, goodness returns to the doer. When one does harm, the harm returns also to the one who caused it. The fruits of creativity and industry are harvested proportionally by the persons who brought then into being.
Though perfect justice is impossible, we embody the virtue of justice when we seek to treat

every individual with fairness and equality. Since we are all prone to bias and prejudice justice, we can approximate justice only by rigorously safeguarding against these. Because we value justice so deeply, every human community puts into place rules and processes that attempt to ensure justice or equity among others.

Love is valuing the joy and pain of another being like we value our own. We

instinctively seek out own happiness and take action to relieve our own discomfort; love makes us instinctively do the same for others.
Love is not merely service (action) nor is it merely delightful in the beloved

(infatuation), though it can express itself in both of these. Loving someone means being able to choose what is best for them over what is best for us. Desire and possessiveness are false love because in both the focus is on usour needs and wants. Sometimes love means letting go.
Love makes life rich by making us part of something bigger than ourselves.
