FRAILTY & POWER

FRAILTY AND POWER Why should the one robbed forgive its robber before restitution is made? That answer also suffices for those who'd urge forgiveness fraudulently upon its victims of fraud and deceit. In nature, a bent limb snaps back; likewise a cornered animal fights back. Surely no less is asked of man, who, after all, is both matter & spirit. These considerations engross me, as I reflect wistfully, on the universal dimensions inhering in frailty & power.
