“Finally, brethren, …whatsoever things are just, …think on these things.” Philippians 4:8
In a world that allows discriminating acts to dominate beyond limits, it’s clear why to think just thoughts is a task which requires work. For the most part, we are want to be treated fairly regardless of our race or background. Nevertheless, for some more than others, fair treatment is not a common occurrence during their life’s journey. Therefore, thinking just thoughts may be challenging. However, thinking just thoughts is a perquisite to being a just person. An individual becomes just by cultivating thoughts of fairness, seeking to protect the underdog and considering others above oneself. More often than not what we think, we say, and what we say becomes our actions. In the midst of injustice, just thoughts motivates us to perform just actions.
