inflicted

The human will be the only mammal in history to fully understand that its own self inflicted extinction is well underway.

Rather than being incensed by the nature of the bruise, maybe we should be inspired by the possibilities in the bruise.

Justice requires not only the ceasing and desisting of injustice but also requires either punishment or reparation for injuries and damages inflicted for prior wrongdoing. The essence of justice is the redistribution of gains earned through the perpetration of injustice. If restitution is not made and reparations not instituted to compensate for prior injustices, those injustices are in effect rewarded. And the benefits such rewards conferred on the perpetrators of injustice will continue to "draw interest," to be reinvested, and to be passed on to their children, who will use their inherited advantages to continue to exploit the children of the victims of the injustices of their ancestors. Consequently, injustice and inequality will be maintained across the generations as will their deleterious social, economic, and political outcomes.

When you take a stand against injustice inflicted upon innocent people, there will be those who will hate you for it.
