“To conclude this discussion, assessment of justice demands engagement with the 'eyes of mankind',first, because we may variously identify with the others elsewhere and not just with our local community;second, because our choices and actions may affect the lives of others far as well as near;and third,because what they see from their respective perspective of history and geography may help us to overcome our own parochialism.” FirstsWellsMayHelpingEyeActionChoicesCommunityJusticeMankindPerspectiveDemandThirdsOvercomingLocalsDiscussionEngagementElsewhereGeographyAssessmentLives Of OthersOur ChoicesLocal CommunityParochialism Book:The Idea of Justice Source: The Idea of Justice
“I'm sure all of us agree that we need to overcome violence, but we first need to examine whether it has any value. From a strictly practical perspective, on certain occasions violence appears to be useful. We can solve a problem quickly by force. But this success is often at the expense of the rights and welfare of others. Although one problem has been solved, the seed of another has been planted.” NeedsFirstsHas BeensProblemCertainValuesForceRightsViolencePerspectiveOvercomingAgreeSolveSeedsPracticalsOccasionsWelfareExpenses Author:Dalai Lama
“A perspective that allows you to consistently make decisions based on the right set of criteria. Positivity and forward thinking. I work on that one every day, and every day I get a little better.

“somehow we have overlooked the fact this treasured called the heart can also be broken, has been broken, and now lies in pieces down under the surface. When it comes to habits we cannot quit or patterns we cannot stop, anger that flies out of nowhere, fears we cannot overcome, or weaknesses we hate to admit--much of what troubles us comes out of the broken places in our hearts crying out for relief. Jesus speaks as if we are all brokenhearted.

“Walking and overcoming by faith is not easy. For one thing, the dimension of time constantly constrains our perspective. Likewise, the world steadily tempts us. No wonder we are given instructive words from Jesus about the narrowness and the straightness of the only path available to return home: “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). And then he said, “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Jesus laid down strict conditions.” MenWorldWaySaidHomeFatherJesusGivenEasyWonderPathOne ThingConditionsPerspectiveReturnWalkingOvercomingAvailableDimensionsStrictConstrain Author:Neal A.
