I want to share a portion of a book I read some time ago. This quote is something I can really relate to.

"Sometimes God wills for one of his children to experience human wickedness so that he will emerge stronger and nobler than ever. Don't you see, my son, that if you hadn't had this calvary to climb, you would never have been able to raise yourself so near to God's truth?

Let me put it another way: the men, the system, the cogs of the machine that ground you down, the evil men who framed you and tortured you, have rendered you the greatest service possible. They brought forth a new man, superior to the first, and if today you recognize honor, goodness, and charity, and realize the energy you will need to surmount the obstacles and become someone superior, you owe it to them. Your idea of vengeance, of punishing everybody according to the injury inflicted on you, goes against the grain of your character. You must be a savior of men, and not live in order to do evil, even though you think the evil is justified.

God was generous to you. He told you, 'Help yourself and I'll help you.' He helped you in so many ways. He even allowed you to save other men and lead them to freedom. But most important, don't make so much of your sins. There are many people in higher positions who are guilty of much worse. Only they haven't experienced the weight of man's ideas of Justice and therefore have missed the opportunity to rise above it as you did."
—Papillon by Henri Charrière

There is no greater way to express to those who have been or are being treated unjustly in the name of Justice. I personally have to say, "I bear witness to the truth of this and as I continue to climb above my anger, resentments, etc., I am growing into a superior form of myself. Therefore, my dealings with others are truly just themselves."

Let it be known. You don't truly know the value of freedom until you have lost it, so to it is with justice. You don't know the justice until you have experienced injustice.

Peace to all those who truly want peace.
