No one enters a just world; everyone is born into specific, historically produced conditions of injustice that predate and will outlast any individual life. The question is not whether to live in an unjust world — there is no other kind available — but how to do so with integrity: how to resist the complicity that comfort invites without the paralysis that structural enormity can produce. Juana's answer was to use the particular ground she stood on — language, intellect, the narrow room she was given — to the fullest possible extent. The examined just life is not the perfect one; it is the one that takes the question seriously and keeps showing up.
Each step builds on the last.
