SEVENTH PRINCIPLE—EQUALITY OF MEN |
If a person commit a crime against you, you have
not the right to forgive him; but the law must punish
him in order to prevent a repetition of that same crime
by others, as the pain of the individual is unimportant
beside the general welfare of the people.

When perfect justice reigns in every country of the
Eastern and Western World, then will the earth become
a place of beauty. The dignity and equality of
every servant of God will be acknowledged; the ideal
of the solidarity of the human race, the true brotherhood
of man, will be realized; and the glorious light
of the Sun of Truth will illumine the souls of all men.
