Dignity

Over the last few weeks decision makers in our nation have wrestled with mercy and justice. They seem to chose neither but asuagance of public conscience.

Tax breaks for the people (less government intrusion) were doled out.

Guests among us who came seeking refuge were pushed aside (more government intrusion) and dreams crushed. Sure, justice means we have deported a record number of people in the last year. Where is mercy?

An unstable man is unstable in all of his ways.

It seems we have real instability in our government. Our government is our people. It seems we have real instability in our people.

The stock market is climbing as companies are seen as more valuable than ever. Justice of value is prevailing.
Unemployment continues to stay at record highs and wages are frozen and even declining as the people that do the work in the companies are seen as less valuable than ever. Mercy is cast aside as we fear the future and hoard our dollars.

Instability will bring unstable results.

Solomon oversaw a mighty nation that intersected with many others. One of his thoughts goes like this. Let mercy and truth (justice) hang as ornaments about your neck. Let them both prevail. Justice without mercy is despotism. Mercy without justice is anarchy. Together they stable the legs of the chair on which we sit.
