Sometimes there is nothing on TV to watch at night despite there being hundreds of channels. So occasionally I watch “really bad TV,” as Suzy calls it while she leaves the room.
Last night I was watching “one of those shows,” when a nugget fell into my lap.
Y’all know I have been struggling as of late with cries for “Justice” that in effect call for the destruction of another person(s) life. To me that is not justice, but I hadn’t put my finger on what was it. Then as I watched one cop point his gun at a really bad guy who had killed the cop’s girlfriend, his buddy cries. “Don’t! Justice doesn’t mean revenge.”
I was sent a nugget. I had a word for what was bothering me. Justice is not the same as revenge. The Count of Monte Christo finally learned that. God reminds us that Justice is for him, and certainly revenge is just another form of injustice.
When we see a terrible injustice, and there seems to be a lot going around these days, let us remember that two wrongs don’t make a right, and “Justice Doesn’t Mean Revenge.”
