Justice is also extremly important for me, because all people deserve to be treated the same way, no matter what. To be hospitatality is also really important because it makes the people feel accepted in the world or in the country. Being able to go where you want, when you want is also essential for a person. Finally, but not least i find love important, because love is a very important thing in life, it is important to love yourself and love others and have someone who loves you.
