Measure

I've thought the measure of a man
is to be fair, honest and ... just.
Justice is righteous.
In justice, you know what the weight of evidence would say.
Fair and honest to all.
That's the thing it says.

But kind?
Fairness and honesty are not kindness.
Kindness shines a light into the abyss,
Fairness, honesty ...
They are the illusion of being a good man.
