The opposite of injustice is not justice but compassion

Charlotte Joko Beck

In spiritual maturity, the opposite of injustice is not justice, but compassion. Not me against you, not me straightening out the present ill, fighting to gain a just result for myself and others, but compassion, a life that goes against nothing and fulfills everything.

Quote of the Day
