When you compare acts, you don't just compare the qualitative nature of the act but also the context, the proportion, the style and the likely consequences. Justice is not blandly equating things but finding the nuances in the interests of the underlying morality.
If foreign policy has no morality, why should individuals? If nations act in their own interests and not principles, why not ordinary citizens? Why force patriotism as a moral on individuals while sparing nations from moral scrutiny? #UkraineCrisis

Watch Sansad TV for a programme on #SriAurobindo
Take the simple example of Sri Aurobindo pressing acceptance of Cripps Mission Proposals but in vain. So, expecting that events would conform to logic or morality is futile. Discerning the hidden evolutionary intention is not easy as substantial portion of script is yet to unfold.
