The Perfect Nemesis

        In the broad scheme of things, everything gets accounted for, and every imbalance corrected. I believe wholeheartedly that in terms of higher authorities and the divine, there are truly no secrets  from God.

Justice and Enlightenment

     The measure of the ethical and moral advancement of a society is gauged by two primary things; How that society treats its sick and weak, and how that society treats its rule-breakers. An enlightened, morally and ethically sophisticated culture would have an insight and understanding of the causes and progressions of these things beyond most others. That society would treat its sick and weak with dignity and compassion with the intent of healing and strengthening them.      It would see sickness and weakness as correctable and redeemable and wouldn't base the endeavor to do these things solely on profits and power. It would have a moral obligation do to do so, and morality and ethics are the highest virtues of an enlightened, advanced society.      But what really gauges a society's advancement and enlightenment is how it treats its criminals and "sinners."
