Righteousness is the quality of being morally right or justifiable. It is often associated with virtue and ethical conduct. In many philosophical, religious, and cultural contexts, righteousness implies adherence to a standard of moral conduct. This can encompass a wide range of behaviors, actions, and attitudes that align with moral principles such as honesty, integrity, fairness, and justice. Righteousness is not only about personal morality but also includes the pursuit of social justice and the correction of injustices.
