All actions, even inaction, have consequences. A ripple of forgiveness causes waves of redemption. Weigh your actions carefully.
Peaceful words are measured best by peaceful actions. It is not enough to speak of peace, one must strive for it.
It is not an easy task to walk back down a path one has filled with thorns. Help those who stumble on this path, for at least they are willing to walk it.
Those in need may turn to darkness to survive, judge not these souls, but help return them to the path of light. Help those in need before they begin their descent, lest their path of return grow from inches to miles.
The dead cannot seek forgiveness nor can they make amends for their actions. If it is capable of striving for betterment, then it deserves the chance to do so. Mercy will always change more than butchery.
