I hear this phrase thrown around a lot around the medical community and in medical articles:
"It's easier to prevent a disease than it is to treat it."
This is especially true when it comes to multiple sclerosis, obesity, HIV, and other conditions caused by poor, irresponsible life decisions.
Could the same be said for justice?
It's easier to prevent crimes (criminal, maybe not so much civil) than it is to pick up the pieces (fallout) after a crime has been committed.
Would it not be fair to say that one embracing a mindset of loving the Lord and loving one's neighbor as oneself works more in the preventative area?
