“There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.”
— George R.R. Martin
Simplified Meaning:
A truly fair and honest person can be the most frightening because their actions and decisions are driven solely by the truth, without bias or favoritism. Imagine a judge who always rules fairly, without being swayed by money, power, or personal connections. Such a person can be intimidating because you can't predict their decisions based on your own influence over them. History provides an example with Mahatma Gandhi, who was steadfast in his commitment to justice and non-violence, challenging powerful leaders and oppressive systems. People like Gandhi can make others nervous because they can't be easily manipulated or bribed, and they stand firmly on their principles. In our own lives, being like this means making fair choices, even when it’s difficult or unpopular, and not letting others pressure us into doing what we know is wrong.
