"In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely precieved and so finely felt as injustice".
What does this mean to you?
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It's a statement of the bond a parent has with their child. That bond is quite strong, and anything negative happening to the child is perceived as injustice.
I suppose it could also make a person think about how apathetic the universe is to our survival.

Injustice is one of the most horrible things I know, I simply can't stand it.
The easiest way to see injustice happen, is when it's done to a child. That's what the quote means to me. When a child is harmed or even treated unfairly, the anger is much bigger than when the same thing happens to an adult.
It should teach us that there also are many adults who hardly are able to defend themselves from injustice, just like kids. The poor in Africa, struggling against starvation, are all victims of injustice on our planet. No matter what age they are. It's just perceived more easily when we see a suffering child.

To me it says that a hurt you feel as a child will stick with you all of your life and even affect your life as an adult. Yes, I do agree with that. Just talk to anyone that hurt as a child by the one(s) that were supposed to protect them.

I would be hard pressed to do either until I know what "precieved" might mean.
