PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Never The First
As Spiritists understand the principles of Infinite Law, Personal Responsibility,
and Demonistic Influence, the Lords have long forbid them to strike the
first blow in battle. Once attacked, however, they do defend themselves,
but only with enough force to keep their enemy from hurting them.
The Children Of the Lords well understand the result of going beyond justifiable
limits. Some were even so determined not to hurt others that they refused
to be involved in any kind of violence at all. they would even go so far
as to allow others to hurt them, and, their families, rather than to chance
that they might be unjustified in fighting back and hurt others unjustly.
