“Justice means minding your own business and not meddling with other men's concerns.”

Simplified Meaning:

When we say justice means keeping to ourselves and not getting involved in other people’s matters, it means fairness is achieved by paying attention to our own responsibilities and not interfering in the personal affairs of others. Imagine a neighborhood where everyone is friendly but respects each other's privacy. If a neighbor constantly checks and comments on how other families raise their kids or live their lives, it can cause tension and resentment. Instead, if everyone focuses on taking care of their own homes and families, the neighborhood is more peaceful and pleasant for everyone. In history, take the example of countries that respect each other's borders and don't try to control or invade each other. This respect leads to more stable and peaceful relationships between nations. Similarly, in daily life, if you focus on doing your job well and not critiquing or micromanaging your coworkers, the workplace environment becomes healthier and more efficient. People can apply this idea by concentrating on improving themselves and their own tasks rather than judging or interfering with what others are doing. This approach promotes a more fair and balanced way of living, where everyone can grow and succeed without unnecessary conflicts.
