“Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong but in finding out the right and upholding it wherever found against the wrong”
— Emiliano Zapata

Simplified Meaning:
Justice isn't about staying in the middle when there's a clear right and wrong. It's about knowing what's right and making sure it wins over what's wrong. Imagine a situation in school where one student is bullying another. If a teacher sees this and doesn't do anything, thinking it's fair to stay out of it, that's not justice. The teacher needs to recognize that bullying is wrong and step in to protect the student who is being hurt. In our own lives, it means that when we see something unfair or harmful, we should take a stand and support what is right, even if it's difficult. Doing the right thing, even in small situations, helps to create a fairer world.
