...significant differences in law (that is, approved behavior) exist where fundamental values are different. I met a young woman from the Middle East who came to work for a time at The Center for Families. She had come to America with her family, and after they had been here only a couple of years her father was killed by a mugger right here in Shreveport. The thought of such a thing horrified and outraged me, but as she continued with the story what was even more incredible was that she was surprised that our justice system hunted down and punished the killer – in her country, there are no laws against murder. she said, "No one cares, at least not enough to do anytning about it." So as Paul said, “You will reap what you sow.” You sow a value other than love, you reap rewards other than peace.
