Justice

With a nod back to my preacher pal ...
I came across a line from a sermon he gave
that truly NEEDS to be heard.

There is bad stuff out there.
There are bad people out there.
Bad groups, bad apples, bad timing,
bad choices, bad events, bad reactions.
As immediate and responsive
as this world is becoming,
Justice is not revenge.
If you are upset by an event,
angered by an occurrence,
disillusioned by happenings,
then become a positive step
toward changing whatever it is
that's bothering you.
There is due process,
a small thing called evidence
(which, in no way EVER,
should be swayed
by emotion or fervor),
and innocence til proven guilty.
Your feelings bare no weight on a verdict.

Justice is not revenge.

What if you were the one charged?
Just a little Tuesday pondering for ya ...
