Justice Is Coming!

We pray for peace and prepare for war. That is how the saying goes. May the wise also pursue justice. For wars to end and for there to be lasting peace, wrongs must be righted. The aggrieved must be recompensed. The victims and the generations to come must be made whole. In our forward evolution, this is the part that gets lost. The aggressor offers hollow apology without proper atonement and we move on. Let the wronged demand more. And may the aggressor be brave enough to do the vulnerable work of reparation and reconciliation so that hard feelings among parties don’t persist. Lest we’re locked in a cycle of sons fighting wars initiated by their grandfathers.
