my mother once told me my since of justice was my biggest flaw. 15 years later and I get what she meant but what a thing to tell a 10 year old lol
Probably better to describe it as "fairness". Maybe even "stubbornness" The problem with justice/fairness is that it is ultimately subjective. And a 10-year-old's view of fairness is often divorced from principles of personal safety or propriety.
You'll see this problem with adult libertarians all the time. Everything from seat belts to sales taxes to dress codes intrude on their sense of fairness, largely because they've ingested enormous volumes of propaganda. The real joke of it is when the term "social justice" impugnes your sense of personal justice. Same with the social conservatives who get up in arms over "illegal" immigration and desegregation, environmental regulations and speed limits, prohibitions on state sanctioned religious education, and age limits on who you can marry.
A sense of justice is a very plastic (especially at a young age) and perspective oriented. Wars have been fought and rivers of blood spilled over a population's conviction of their own righteousness.
Going on the warpath at the drop of a hat pretty much describes my entire immediate family and majority of my friends. The stress is going to end me early, I fucking know it.
