There is nothing a child so keenly resentsNothing that so embitters an adult
As a feeling that he has been unjustly treated
People will accept misfortunes, at least without bitterness
If they know that they deserve them
Unfortunately in the confused and distorted mental outlook of today
With selfishness so rife and the everyman for himself doctrine so commonly practiced
There is in the western lands no confidence in the justice of things
How could there be after centuries of false teachings and counter strokes of revenge all down the ages until few can be found who are not in the tangle?
Nothing but a true philosophy of life can possibly make people face the facts
There must be a broader outlook than the one-life theory offers
Some chance to harmonise with justice the frequent sight of good punished and bad rewarded must be given to men before they can clear their hearts of bitterness
Turn suspicion into trust
And shake off the deceiving lenses which have disguised every brother as an alien
