While listening to part one of Kate's talk (http://www.ethicalstl.org/platforms/ESSTLPlatform2008-03-09.mp3) I was struck with the statement that perhaps what we need was less justice and more mercy. This would go a long way toward ending a lot of the back-and-forth in today's conflicts. You shoot a mortar into my village and I will drop bunch of bombs onto yours. It is a never ending tit-for-tat. Something in which we would not allow our children to engage. I'll try to remember that for my life as well - less justice, more mercy.
