Well, "this kind of stuff" is neither news nor commentary on subjects in the news, nor is there any urgent reason why it should be published now and not at any other time. And so perhaps you think that all such content is "fluff." OK, I understand that. But NCR nevertheless have decided it's good to have a Spirituality section, and a column called Soul Seeing.

Justice is not to be understood only as the due maintenance of a contractual agreement between equivalent parties. More to the heart of it, it is a virtue, the greatest of the virtues, by which living beings conduct themselves as far as they can according to what is best in their nature. Nonhuman animals are not by nature moral agents, so we do not expect a reciprocity from them as we would from fellow humans. But humans are most certainly moral agents, at their best seeking what is good. And usually our love of justice has included a sense that the weak and vulnerable deserve mercy and compassion from those who are stronger.
