The objective of democracy is the reign of justice over the human relations. In other words, it aims at the establishment of human relations based on the spirit of dignity of man-the establishment of justice on earth. To see the actual world, however, there are unending bitter struggles among individuals, groups, and nations who, professing to establish justice, strive toward giving universal validity to "themselves." In such cases all the anti-forces are regarded the vicious enemy of justice to be destroyed. Even the liquidation of undesirable man is justified in the name of justice. In democracy the establishment of justice in human relationships means the rightful settlement of each situation in which relationships exist. Democratic man must, therefore, be able to cooperate with other man for the common end of realizing justice on the equal standing as man. For this purpose he is required to offer everything good he has-knowledge, techniques, virtues, etc. Democratic man must thus be a man of principle. To be a man of principle, however, requires of him limitless patience, humility, tolerance, self-devotion and all other virtues. As the prerequisite to be democratic, he must recognize the finiteness of human being, and yet he must have full conviction that ultimately justice rules over human relations, and with this conviction must courageously and hopefully endeavor to achieve his duty. It is the democratic man who, when opposed to others, neither compromises with others by withdrawing his opinion nor settles the matter by violence, but turns to the Absolute for the source of ultimate judgment.
