19. Justice is blind,
as they say. That is not a good thing. Justice should have super-laser sharp eyesight.

I have been faced with a situation where I could proceed along the 'justice' line and make someone else's life miserable. May someone else get hurt someday? More than likely. Is that MY responsibility? I don't think so. My main responsibility is to myself. That is what this lesson has taught me. I am not willing to invest my time and emotions into pursuing a punishment for this person. I have spent enough already to dig myself out of the sh*t he left. If I can do it, anyone can. As it turns out, I am much more capable than the one who should be held accountable. Thank goddess I have the personal resources to overcome the obstacles that others would throw in my way. I can't save the world, my friends kept telling me. I didn't get the point until faced with the very thing. Do your part. Wait. Waiting is hard. But, please do not expect that you can reform this person. It is their choice.
