Love - beyond justice
Those who have worked for others and in one way or another been of help to them find it only fair to receive something in return. Yes, it is fair, but love, the kind that encourages us to give without expecting anything, is beyond justice. Justice already dwells naturally within people, but not yet love. Even criminals can have a sense of justice in some form – even animals. And how many crimes are committed in order to restore so-called justice! You have helped someone, and in the name of fairness you think that person owes you something. But if you persist in expecting something that may not happen, you are unhappy, annoyed; you even feel a slight wish for revenge. And what is the reason now for your mulling over those hostile feelings? It is because of the good you have done! Is that intelligent? Why not try to preserve the joy you felt in doing good?
