It has been said by the prestigious journalist, Henry Louis Mencken, that “injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.” This quote means that if a wrongdoer commits an action with malicious intent, then injustice, or receiving no punishment, is easier to bear than the pain of a justified punishment. I agree with this statement because not achieving justice is easier and requires less effort than preparing an accusation and a punishment for the offender. In concurrence with the interpretation of the quote, I agree that receiving no penalty for one’s action is easier to endure than being the recipient of a severe sentence. Throughout the novel, The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, the two eminent tales which support the quote are, “The Pardoner’s Tale” and “The Wife of Bath’s Tale”.
