Reckoning

Justice and revenge can look uncomfortably similar from a distance. Across an unfolding series of fragments, the group must decide how much certainty is enough, what makes punishment legitimate, and whether a wrong outcome gives anyone the right to correct it.

Thought Experiment: Reckoning

That justice is patient.
That truth returns.
That what is deserved eventually arrives.

Both can learn to call themselves justice.

The difference is simple.
One asks what should be done.
The other stops asking.
