Jerry Falwell - R.I.P.

[Silencio]

[quote kj]However, the real issue to me is whether it is o.k. to treat people poorly because they've treated people poorly. I don't think poor behavior justifies poor behavior in return, but I guess for some people it seems "fair". When does it end though? He treats someone poorly, so now we can treat him poorly. Someone else sees both of us treating each other poorly, so now it's ok for them to treat all of us poorly. I guess we're all justified in stomping one another, which is just great. What a nice vision of how things could be. kj.
Revenge begets revenge begets even more revenge; and on and on it goes.

Jesus [H]himself had something to say about the issue: something about turning the other cheek. Humanity is going to be mired in an endless cycle of strife and violence and fear until we all finally learn that lesson. Forgiveness is more powerful than anger.
