  Mercy - Showing Kindness to the...

  Mercy is a profound expression of kindness, compassion, and forgiveness, often extended to those who may not seem to deserve it. It goes beyond simple generosity, as it requires an intentional choice to withhold judgment or punishment in favor of grace. Unlike justice, which demands fairness and consequences, mercy offers a second chance, a moment of reprieve that can change the course of a person’s life. It is an act of the heart, one that acknowledges human weakness yet chooses understanding over condemnation. 
  Throughout history, mercy has been revered as a virtue, praised in religious teachings, philosophy, and moral discussions. It is a force that has shaped civilizations, influenced legal systems, and guided personal relationships. In many cultures, it is considered not just an act of goodness but a moral responsibility. Leaders who have shown mercy, whether in governance, war, or interpersonal dealings, are often remembered with admiration, their compassion seen as a mark of true wisdom. Conversely, the absence of mercy has been linked to cruelty, oppression, and suffering, demonstrating how vital it is in maintaining harmony in society. 
  Mercy and grace are often confused, but while they share similarities, they are not identical. Grace is the act of giving blessings freely, often without any expectation or prerequisite, while mercy is specifically about withholding deserved punishment or hardship. When someone extends mercy, they acknowledge wrongdoing or imperfection but choose to respond with kindness rather than retribution. This makes mercy one of the most powerful ways to heal relationships and restore dignity to those who have fallen short.

  Resilience isn’t inherited. It’s a hard-fought skill forged by our ability to pick up the broken pieces of our past and remake them into something new. 
  Meet four-year-old Delicia, a poor but carefree child who is about to have her world shattered. Along with her seven-year-old brother Nile, she is kidnapped from her Los Angeles home by her estranged father and taken to Iraq, a foreign world she has never known. This is just the beginning of a string of traumas, hardships, and assaults Delicia will endure throughout her tumultuous childhood.

  "We don't yet know where the current battle is headed. But Puri's 'first cut' will help us greatly in fathoming how we got here." – Patrick Porter, Professor of International Security, University of Birmingham
  ***
  When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, many in the West were left stunned at his act of brutal imperialism. To those who had been paying attention, however, the warning signs of the bloodshed and slaughter to come had been there for years.
  Tracing the relationship between the two countries from the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 to Putin's invasion in 2022, what emerges from this gripping and accessible book is a portrait of a nation caught in a geopolitical tug of war between Russia and the West. While Russia is identified as the sole aggressor, we see how Western bodies such as the EU and NATO unrealistically raised Ukraine's expectations of membership before dashing them, leaving Ukraine without formal allies and fatally exposed to Russian aggression.
  As a former international observer, Samir Puri was present for several of the major events covered in this book. He uses this experience to ask honestly: how did we get here? Why does Vladimir Putin view Ukraine as the natural property of Russia? Did the West handle its dealings with these countries prudently? Or did it inflame the tensions left amidst the ruins of the Soviet Union? Were there any missed opportunities to avert the war? And how might this conflict end?
