Elder Paisios was often asked what justice is? How to act fairly? Father Paisius said: “There is human justice, and there is Divine justice.” —What is Divine justice? - they asked him. Then the elder gave the following example. - Imagine that a person came to visit a friend, and they had ten plums. One of them ate eight, and the other got two. Is this fair? “No,” everyone answered unanimously, “this is unfair!” Father Paisiy continued: “Then so.” Two friends had ten plums. They divided them equally, five at a time, and ate them. Is this fair? - Yes, that's fair! - everyone said. “But this is human justice,” noted Father Paisiy. - There is also Divine justice! Imagine that one of the friends who had ten plums, guessing that the other loved plums very much, said: “Be a friend, eat these plums, I don’t really like them.” And besides, they make my stomach hurt! And I can only eat one. - Give the other what he wants, not half, give him the good, and leave the bad for yourself. This will be Divine justice,” the elder concluded his story.
