According to the prophet Micah, rather than Jews overly concerning themselves with the strict observance of over six hundred laws, the spirit of the law could be reduced to three basic principles— “...what the Lord requires of you: only to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God— justice, humility, and kindness.”
The triangle is balanced, rather like the scales of justice. The circle is the simplest of all shapes, thus the most humble. The heart represents love or kindness.
