Live by spirit of morality and not just letter. The letter says do not abuse. But living by the letter leaves room for abuse by proxy or by agency, hence the gangs take advantage of this. Instead we should recognise the spirit of the moral is that we neither abuse, nor suffer it be done by proxy or agency of gangs. That is what must change. Call it the extra mile of spirit of morality, beyond the mile required by the letter of the morality. This is the spirit of Christ’s teachings. It leads to self-denial and self-disciplined restraint, but not merely to the ‘one mile’ extent required by moral principles but the whole two miles. Love for our neighbour is the spirit of the law.
