Thanks for the thread Tanuki

Good one, thanks for posting.

“A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.”

Unfortunately, our society appears to be moving in the wrong direction.

Originality of my thoughts could best be described as pathetic. The idea apparently originated with Saint Augustine of Hippo, who lived more than 1500 years ago. (Thanks Wikipedia!)
The thought behind this
“Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.”
… is described here, for instance:

As relevant today as it ever was throughout every yesteryear.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
