Strife and contention are not the proper means for achieving justice, nor is justice the fruit of an adversarial process. To work for justice does not entail parroting support for popular issues or the cause of the moment. Justice is not an excuse for the promotion of self interest. It is not obtained by righteous indignation and loud demands made from a distance on behalf of the oppressed when one is cushioned by the comforts of privileged circumstances. It is promoted, instead, by patience and long suffering, through persistent action and loving education. One endures injustice in the process of building justice.
