When a law-abiding, timid electronics buff blasted four would-be muggers in a New York subway, Bernhard Geotz became an instant hero! It’s not hard to see why. He clobbered evil over the head. He embodied a nationwide anger—a passion for revenge. Yet reality makes us ask the questions: What good was done? Are the streets now free of fear?
On the cross Jesus said, “They do not know what they are doing.” It doesn’t justify kiddie-porn peddlers or heroin dealers. But it does help explain why they do the miserable things they do.
Once we see ourselves for what we are, we can help. Not out of anger, but out of concern and compassion. We go to the ghettos. We teach in the schools. We build hospitals and help orphans. We look at the world not with bitter frowns, but with extended hands!
