Dear 007,
" �Fasad fil-ardh� should be taken within its context."
Well, that's what bothers me - what ARE the "possible contexts", and who decides just what "threaten(s) to destabilize the foundation of society."
It seems to me it's open to a lot of interpretations.
Regards,
John |

I posed the question "What is justice ?" in the same way as Socrates, hoping that my eager students on this board would reflect on it.
Justice of course is nothing more than fairness and is an ideal we can strive after but never achieve. You might like to reflect on the fact that 'just' is one of the attributes of the Almighty. |
