I don't know wheter is was in a Lego commercial a few years back or not, but I seem to recall that one child built a mouse. The other build a Cat ready to pounce on the mouse. So the first one built a big dog ready to illiminate the cat. The other built a built a dinosaur ready to devour anything. It went on on one.
Retaliation never ends.
We even forget why all this started in the first place. In Jesus way, the pattern is broken and it allows for a new future. I must admit I cant follow Jesus way all of the time. But the kind of vision that Jesus presents us with is a vision that I keep before me even when I seem so far from it. With God, the impossible is possible.
