'Cry, The Beloved Country'

A perfect companion novel for "A Passage to India." Just another tale of how the West has gone into "third-world" countries and just kinda screwed everything up.

However, there's a bigger question of justice, faith, family, nature vs. nurture and forgiveness.

Per justice, it is shocking how poorly the systems in yesteryear were run. I mean, today's system ain't perfect even in the most fair, forward-thinking countries.

But we're basically working with a system that's always broke and will never be fixed. Unless we morph into feelingless androids, it'll never be perfect. By then, hopefully, they'll be able to program us to not kill each other.
