The First Injustice

The first injustice is taking sides, blaming the other. "Right" and "Wrong" appear. Once our judgment creates that unfathomable gulf of separateness, there is no possible solution to the problem, until both "sides" have gone to war and exhausted themselves. Then, at the end of the war, which comes from exhaustion, not from reconciliation, there is a breath of healing, and a brief repose. A new world could blossom from that breath. But instead, we start judging, blaming, taking sides again. Why is being "right" more important than breathing peace?
