As K-Sra ponders the human need for revenge, we learn from Civil War Commander and the 18th American President, Ulysses S. Grant who gives us insightful wisdom in response.
Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.

In irony, these words come from a man whose Presidential term is now viewed historically as marginally corrupt. Yet, his personal reputation is still regarded as being of high moral personal integrity. It begs question, or rather this simple retort,
It is not words which credence integrity, but action.
