A traveler was walking along the road one day when a man on horseback rushed by. There was an evil look in his eyes and blood on his hands.
Minutes later a crowd of riders drew up and wanted to know if the traveler had seen someone with blood on his hands go by. They were in hot pursuit of him
"Who is he?" the traveler asked.
"An evil-doer," said the leader of the crowd. "And you pursue him in order to bring him to justice?"
"No," said the leader, "we pursue him in order to show him the way."
Reconciliation alone will save the world, not justice which is generally another word for revenge.
