Why the Hand Bleeds
The hand closes around the blade because truth cannot be held at a safe distance.
The person who brings a lawsuit is wounded. So is the person who must answer it. To cause another person pain is also to fracture one’s own soul.
And the person who reaches for the truth cannot expect to remain untouched. To grasp the very blade that wounds others is to bleed as well.
The blood is the cost of holding on—to truth, to balance, and to the dignity of every person caught in the conflict.
