I am a great believer in the "God helps those who help themselves" school of thought. I am also not a believer at all in the definition of justice described in today's readings where "justice" means killing, punishing or otherwise damaging those who have hurt you. It is certainly tempting (and my first gut reaction in many cases), but it just tends to lead to escalation.
