***
We both performed the same Deeds
Committed the same Crime
Thus our Sins were also same

I was caught Red-Handed
You managed to Escape
My Bad-Luck Your Good-Luck

Only I was Prosecuted
I was made Accused
At last, I was convicted

Now I am facing the Punishment
You are free to enjoy the Life
Also free to commit a new Crime

I know my act was illegal&nbsp;&nbsp;
I know your act was also illegal
You also know, your act was illegal

I feel sooner or latter the person who ran free will be caught and he may not be as lucky as you, he may even get killed by those who he commits a crime against.

Well-crafted piece, Shiv, about how some folks seem to escape detection from the authorities after committing crimes. But no one really escapes. There's always a rude awakening at life's end. Good work !

Knowing that Justice exists outside our temporal existence give peace. No one "gets away" with anything.  Relying on Mercy, I turn to the Cross for consolation and forgiveness and redemption.

The sin is not the problem.The level of Justice is the problem. The biggest sinners are usually the most powerful.

I believe the biggest sinners are the ones who hand out the punishment

Karma sometimes handles the rest!  &#128521;

Karma is patient but relentless! K:)&#128158;

I hope to learn from you, to see with your eyes. As a first conversation starter, I would tell you I've learned that original sin is less a filthy stain defiling our clean little selves, than it is a disconnection from truth, a shortcircuit, something broken or missing. Our screw ups are better seen as transgressions, oopses, after we resolder the hardware and verify we connect with and live in the book of life. Something like that.

Interesting questions! The lack of repercussions from some judicial body does not remove culpability

The sinner is the one who doesn't repent or let's say regret, sorry, is less biblical. But the one that served the time paid for his crime and lady karma registers all! But there are those who are able to dump their karma so it makes even karma unjust it is called projection and linking into your energy system. The family scapegoat usually carries the projections. But finally 'i' know one thing 'i' know nothing! just think 'i' do...
