- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutra
- Of justice
- When you have an enemy, do not requite him good for evil: for that would make him ashamed. But prove that he has done something good to you.
- Better to be angry than make ashamed! And when you are cursed, I do not like it that you then want to bless. Rather curse back a little!
- And should a great injustice be done you, then quickly do five little injustices besides. He who bears injustice alone is terrible to behold.
- Did you know this already? Shared injustice is half justice. And he who can bear it should take the injustice upon himself.
- A little revenge is more human than no revenge at all. And if the punishment be not also a right and an honour for the transgressor, then I do not like your punishment.
- It is more noble to declare yourself wrong than to maintain you are right, especially when you are right. Only you must be rich enough for it.
- I do not like your cold justice; and from the eye of your judges there always gazes only the executioner and his cold steel.
- Tell me, where is the justice which is love with seeing eyes to be found?...
- How could I be just from the very heart? How can I give everyone what is his? Let this suffice me: I give everyone what is mine.
- ... Thus spake Zarathustra.
