I really enjoyed your take on cruelty. It is interesting how people with seemingly good intentions who care about justice and a better world for all can still be chomping at the bit for their turn to wield cruelty in a way that feels justified, toward those who deserve it as you aptly put it. This odd presupposition that cruelty by default has a place in an ideal world. I'm not sure quite what to make of that yet!
