Righteousness

We hear the word righteousness a lot but, the truth is, I never really understood what it meant. But I was in a Social Transformation class for my MBA yesterday, and our teacher, Ms Athena Gorospe, gave us a definition for it. She said, righteousness is meeting the expectations of a relationship, as compared to justice, which is meeting the expectations of a community. Alright, makes sense. That's why God credits certain actions to righteousness. That's why a point where peace and righteousness kiss is such a good place.

I'd like righteousness in my relationships.
