It is said that the law does not have retroactive effect. Yes—but only when it is about human relationships. Can family feelings, love, friendship, honor, and one’s duty at work be bound by strict time limits? How can we determine a starting point for these concepts? They exist outside of time when it comes to people fully devoted to their calling.
…you will be horrified by how resistant human nature is to the truth when the truth is clear and obvious.
