Rules of Decency: Understanding the Difference is Key
1. RULES OF DECENCY
Violence breeds violence, we are told. Inhumanity begets
inhumanity, people tell us. Incivility spreads like an
infectious disease, some people say. We should not meet
revenge with revenge is the rule of decency.
However, we can start by demanding justice for the cruelty,
crime and injustice done to us and not vengeance for it.
This idea is magnanimous but we also know that there are
demons in the world who would not understand these
feelings of humanity. They need thorough education about
humanity.
Some wise people or some tolerant individuals say that
understanding the difference between these thoughts is the
first step for winning the bigger war of this world.
But won’t this make us cowards? That is my angst.
