Sometimes it is important to discover what inference they drew from what they saw either because it illuminates a bare factual description or because it accounts for their actions.
It’s far from ideal, but it’s an improvement over the recent words of Yoshiro Mori, the former chairman of the Japanese Olympic Committee.
The challenge from Luke 6:32 is always going to be with us. Some of us only want to funnel the love of/from God toward the people we value or society values. The “deserving” poor etc. The ones with whom we choose to identify.
Could you explain what Mr. Mori said? I guess that I missed it in the news or have forgotten it. Thanks.
Here are his quotes, along with reactions from his wife, daughter and granddaughter:

A brief summary of the evidence should be, " I saw the offence being committed and so I intervened."
On the topic of small victories, one of the matters I omitted was that Ms Higgins was drunk to the point of staggering when she and the assaulter entered Parliament House. Apart from raising questions as to why security staff didn't intervene, nobody in the media (that I know of) has used this to criticise her, and no politician (that I know of) has mentioned it.
Fair enough but the important evidence is what they saw and what they did. Everything else is of no importance.
No, no, and yet a third time, no. What is said can be very important indeed.
Well in this particular case it was not.
Telford, in this particular case, it's exactly what we're talking about on this thread - the apparently necessary condition for men to feel some kind of emotional connection to female victims of violence before they understand it might be awful for the victim.
You've been trying to derail the thread on this tangent ever since I posted the story. Please stop. There are important things to discuss here.

I think I have said all i need to say about your story so this is my last post in this thread
I'm sorry to say that this whole case has gone from terrible to just incredibly awful. Here is the latest. In short, there are now four allegations about the individual from three Liberal party staffers including Ms Higgins and one from a Liberal party volunteer. The accused is known, but not being named in the media I read. He has reportedly been stood aside from his job, was admitted to hospital, and is now in a private clinic. That says self-harm to me.

Just, wow. Thanks. What a piece of work.

It's not about you and your feelings, mate. A crime may have been committed.
Who can be advising him?
