Tweets - January 28th - Not our problem

Whatever injustices you have made acceptable there, you have made acceptable here. The approved destruction of my home is the acceptable destruction of yours.

I've heard it said concerning others in some other parts of the world, "they are not our problem". But their troubles are our problem. They are all our problem. Injustice anywhere is a cancer of our race. I'm telling you, one has to go, either the cancer or the body.

Mercy is not evident, it is never the goal here. True mercy requires the honesty of justice, and true justice requires the love of mercy; this needs both personal and global efforts.

To understand why, you only need to look out your window - or if your view is nice and pretty, look at those other people in those other parts of the world - and see what happens when mercy and justice remain unmarried.

It's only a matter of circumstance before the seeds of injustice sprout and put forth its devastating fruit, producing seeds which blow into your yard and at the feet of your children and produce fruiting plants of the same kind.

You will reap what others have sown all because, "they are not our problem".

=================================================

I always admire the work of people who put such great effort into understanding and critiquing religion and religious beliefs (Islam, Christianity, Judaism). I follow a few people for this reason alone.

I don't always admire their agendas or their politics, but I always admire the work. It either forces people to think - which can only ever be a good thing as it assists with bringing about an end to some injustices in this world - or it forces them to be mentally dissonant.
