From Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts:
Their punishment, for fighting about religion, was that each had to learn one complete prayer from the religious observances of the other.
‘In this way is justice done,’ Qasim Ali said that night, his bark-coloured eyes softening on the two young men, ’because justice is a judgement that is both fair and forgiving. Justice is not done until everyone is satisfied, even those who offend us and must be punished by us. You can see, by what we have done with these two boys, that justice is not only the way we punish those who do wrong. It is also the way we try to save them.’
