Las tres claves que nos permiten ser felices_ sentirnos bien, sentirnos queridos y sentir que progresamos_ solo funcionan si vivimos en sociedad.

Debemos preocuparnos por que nuestra sociedad funcione bien; es decir, que sea una sociedad justa. 

A lo largo de la historia ha habido personas que han contribuido de manera notable en la lucha por la justicia: eliminación de esclavitud, igualdad de la mujer, derechos de los trabajadores, derechos de los niños...
