Start with the observation

Many acts of courage receive no reward here, while many injuries can never be repaired within the lives they damage.

  1. Calling justice real while accepting its permanent impossibility creates a deep contradiction.

  3. The conscience that asks for complete justice naturally raises the possibility of a judgment not bound by those limits.

A passage to hold beside it

“Does this human being suppose that they will be left unattended?” 1

Read plainly

Try observing this
