MIST 2018
In 2018, we presented The Valor of Mercy, Summoning the Strength of Compassion.
Here's what you did.
Theme Breakdown
Despite being a morally positive concept, mercy is sometimes seen in a negative light, juxtaposed against justice. Showing mercy to an enemy can be seen as demonstrating weakness. To a criminal, offering leniency might mean failing to defend the rights of the aggrieved. Forgiving someone might be tantamount to appeasing bad behavior. So how can we show mercy without compromising the demands of justice?
