Love and Justice

From the family repairs and maintenance manual:
"A God that is only loving or only just is not a perfect God. The divinity has to possess both of these aspects as every father ought to express both in his attitude towards his children." Shough Effendi

"Children need to experience both these expressions of parental care, for they are both aspects of god's care for humanity. Many parents believe they are being just when they try to give each child an equal share of whatever is going. So they try to give each child the same kind of love, the same amount of money and same amount of chocolate. When one begins to understand how families work, one realizes that all parents treat each of their children differently, particularly when they are trying disparately to treat them equally with mathematical justice. In fact, what is happening is that they do not want to allow each child to be different. and they are often trying to cover up lot of feelings of guilt. True justice implies not imitating other people method (for instance in education), but trying to do the right thing to ones understanding of ones own child in a given situation and at a particular time.

Justice requires that we do not give in, while love is the only means of healing.
