NO JUDGEMENT

Why does an infraction demand a penalty? What if the penalty is something humanity designed? Is shame in the heart of the penalizer, not enough to bear? But others desire to dictate a righteous judgement, a judgement that is greater than the internal judge of the heart. We don't have the restraint to judge others appropriately. We take it too far and make the infraction personal. We end up issuing violence and we call that justice? True justice is decided in the individual heart. The wrong is lived with every day and they suffer with the memory. Who are we to judge those who have already judged themselves?-Jacob Heynen
