Excellent! Fascinating reflection. I wonder whether the old familiar saying that 'might makes right' ever referred to the Lord God having established the laws for man, or whether it has always been a reminder that the powerful decide what is acceptable...and naturally abuse their ability; as the Word of God says, '...I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; ...the earth is given into the hand of the wicked: He covereth the faces of the judges thereof; ....' I like your assessment that true excellence lies in showing mercy, reminiscent of the Lord, ...'God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.' Superb admonition, and so reminiscent likewise of what we were taught as children, that anybody can fight, but it takes a big man to stop the fight, ie, show mercy? I quite like this piece of yours! You said it very well in fewer words.
