There shall be no reconciliation without justice.

Today is Noynoy Aquino's inauguration as the new Philippine president.
The part of his speech that really made an impact on me was this:

"There shall be no reconciliation without justice."

...Hindi naman pwedeng umupo na lang tayo at mag-usap na parang wala lang nangyari..."

And then I remembered my sadistic mother. This is the exact reason why me and my mother are still estranged.

Kudos Noynoy. You could not have said it better.
