õigeõiglus

Oigeõiglus is an Estonian concept that translates roughly to "rightful justice" or "true justice." It embodies a deep-seated belief in the inherent fairness and moral correctness of certain outcomes or principles. This is not merely about legal proceedings, but a broader societal understanding of what is right and just in various contexts, including interpersonal relationships, ethical dilemmas, and social structures. The concept often implies a natural order or an intuitive sense of what ought to be, which may or may not align perfectly with codified laws. It can involve a sense of moral obligation or a feeling that certain actions or states of affairs are inherently more just than others. Oigeõiglus can be invoked when existing systems or actions are perceived as falling short of a higher moral standard, suggesting a need for correction or a return to what is considered fundamentally right. It is a nuanced idea that draws upon cultural values and personal conscience to define and strive for a more equitable and morally sound reality.
