Not knowing who to trust leads to wars. and not knowing who to admire is what leads to genocides.
If you trust the person who is getting revenge, that person is playing to your fears and drawing you into conflict, and the test is whether the plan treats everyone fairly and equally. Equality is the principle that people who have been dragged into a war lack.
If you admire the person who is getting revenge, that person is playing to your fears and drawing you into conflict, and the test is whether the plan takes away anyone's rights. Liberty is the principle that people who have been dragged into a genocide lack.
The Universe has three levels, and so does every part of it, including the U.S. legal system. They are: Principles, Power and Project. The U.S. legal system has Universal Law, Constitutional Law, and Federal and State and local laws. Our Creator says in the Bible, "Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord." That is because it does not stand on the principles of Universal Law. It is not based on principles, but on fears. Constitutional Law that was written that does not stand on the principles of Universal Law leads to chaos and conflict, and projects--acts--based on revenge lead to wars and genocides.
There are five other power games that are played, and each come from a sense of fear and a sense of lack. The final power game is based on acts of terrorism, and what comes next is a failed state, which lacks everything.
No equality. No liberty. No freedom. No compassion. No abundance. No capacity. No tolerance.
Our organization is working to end the Iraq War which devolved as a genocide. Tomorrow, we will start to look at how the United States can avoid becoming a failed state.
