In the Oxford School Dictionary, ‘Justice’ is defined as ‘being just: fair treatment’.
Bullshit.
In my dictionary, Justice is not about giving that terrorist the death sentence.
In my dictionary, Justice is not about jailing that rapist.
In my dictionary, Justice is not about punishing that boy who bullied the girl.
In my dictionary, Justice is about fighting for yourself: Just yourself.
In my world, Lady Justice doesn’t do her job; I do her job.
If I am born as a deer, I will hunt and kill tigers.
If I am born into a poor family, I will rob the wealthy of their riches.
If I am born without legs, I will break everyone’s legs.
If I am born hearing impaired, I will slice off everyone’s ears.
That is Justice.

“How long can I stave it off? I don’t know. All I know is that I have two choices – stay wrapped in blankets and get on with dying, or get the list back together and get on with living.“
Synopsis
Tessa has just a few months to live. Fighting back against hospital visits, endless tests, drugs with excruciating side-effects, Tessa compiles a list. It's her To Do Before I Die list. And number one is sex. Released from the constraints of 'normal' life, Tessa tastes new experiences to make her feel alive while her failing body struggles to keep up. Tessa's feelings, her relationships with her father and brother, her estranged mother, her best friend, her new boyfriend, all are painfully crystallized in the precious weeks before Tessa's time finally runs out. "Before I Die" is a brilliantly-crafted novel, heartbreaking yet astonishingly life-affirming. It will take you to the very edge.
