“But why are those same people even judges even here In Heaven?” “Because people belong to each other. As you see, i am only a witness; its the people who determine the verdict.”

“Because people belong to each other. As you see, I am only a witness; it’s people who determine the verdict—even in heaven. Believe me Kugler this is the way it should be the only just as people to service human justice .” This says that all people should have a chance to express themselves and that it should be fairly done such as human judges.

“Because I know everything. If judges knew everything, absolutely everything, they couldn’t judge. They would understand everything and their hearts would ache. How could I possibly judge you. Judges only know about your crimes, but I know everything about you.” Quote from God

This shows how someone who knows everything can’t judge someone. They would probably understand your whole story and why you did what you did. Knowing everything would interfere with the ability to judge. That is why judges are only given the most relevant information, not things that seem to have no meaning but they actually have very deep meaning.

“How Could I possibly judge you? Judges know only about your crimes; but I know everything about you.” I believe that this quote is important because it shows that God knows everything about you and never judges you.

1.  “You shouldn’t think of anyone as completely worthless.” Pg 221
I believe this quote because it is correct, you don’t know what’s going on in someone’s life so you should never think of someone as completely worthless.

“ the only justice is human justice”
this quote Is important because it makes me reflect on what truly is human justice. It makes a person contemplate on if how we deliver justice is right. For me, this quite makes me wonder about how we view and judge each other.

“Because i know everything. If judges knew everything absolutely  everything, they couldn’t judge, either: they would understand everything and their hearts would ache.” How could I possibly judge you? Judges know only about your crimes, But I know everything about you “.God can not be a judge because he knows everything and judges don’t know everything about a case. I picked this quote because it shows why a witnesses or someone who knows everything about a person can not be a judge.

quote, #2 "Do not interrupt the witness, he knows everything, so there is no use in denying" I believe that this quote is important because it tells us a harsh truth that you can lie to everyone in this world but there are only two people you cannot lie to, because they know the truth. These people being yourself and God.

“If judges knew everything, absolutely everything, they couldn’t judge, either: they would understand everything, and their hearts would ache.”

The reason I think this quote is significant is because it proves that people can judge strangers easily for their mistakes or even successes, because they don’t know that person and their story. This goes back to the answers to the questions discussed on the page above. God cannot judge us justly, because He knows everything about us: our mindsets, our reasonings, our entire life. He understands us. This quote reveals that people are the better ones to judge, because since they don’t have the information and insight into a person’s life that God does, they don't have to feel any heartache judging them.

“‘You shouldn’t think of anyone as being completely worthless’”

This quote reveals that you make a mark on people and that people will remember the good things about you. This quote is important because it shows us that Kluger does not care about the people that he killed, he forgets about them and moves on with his life.

“If the judges knew everything, absolutely everything, they couldn’t judge, either: they would understand everything, and their hearts would ache.” This reveals that, sometimes it is ok not to know everything because sometimes deep down in your heart, you can’t accept the truth. These judges are able listen to the entire story, not knowing the depth of his crimes.  Knowing too much reveals to the truth, but blinds your thought process to see other perspectives.

“The only justice people deserve is human justice.” Humans are not worthy of divine judgment.

1 quote: “He knows everything.”
This shows that God knows everything about everyone. This Is significant because it comes up many times in the short story.
2 quote: “You brought dishonor to your home.”
This is important because this shows all of the cruel stuff he did to his family members and other people. He killed nine people, left her sister loney, and made his parents cry to death because they didn't know where he was.
3 quote:  “There judges on earth, so there judges here as well.”
This is significant because it shows who the judges are and this also ties into the question, why wasn’t God the judge. That’s because God knows everything, so he couldn’t really punish someone unlike the judges who only know the situation that's happening during the court.

“Right now it’s raining on earth and your marble is shivering in a gush of cold water.” I like this quote because it is so symbolic and we can apply this quote to our daily lives. When we say and doing things, no matter how small, they have an affect on everyone and everything around us.

“From anger, from greed, deliberately and by chance, sometimes with pleasure and others times from necessity.”
This quote is important because it suggests the reasons for which Kugler committed his murderous deeds. Perhaps they could be perceived as justifications, or perhaps they increase Kugler’s culpability. Regardless, this quote reflects integrity within the character, as Kugler never objected to the overwhelming wisdom of the witness. Instead, he meekly complied, which unveils an explicit facet of character development.

“To all appearances he had escaped earthly justice.” This is significant because it shows that you can get out of trouble on earth but God always knows what you did. For example Ferdinand would always run away after he killed someone. He may have gotten away but God knew what he did and he got his proper result for his actions.

“People belong to each other. As you see, I’m only a witness; it’s the people who determine the verdict-even in heaven. Believe me, Kugler, this is the way it should be. The only justice people deserve is human justice.”
This quote is important because it shows that God believes that humans should be the ones to affect, and in some cases, decide the fate of each other on Earth, and that the same should be done in heaven. It also shows God is humbling himself by being only a witness.

“Should I tell you about the good deeds? ‘Thank You,’ the presiding judge said, ‘it isn’t necessary.’”

This quote is significant since it delineates the dangerous one-sided view that humans tend to have when dealing with justice. Notice that this viewpoint has Kugler sentenced to Hell, a place where he is never allowed to come back from, sent to burn and be outcast for the rest of eternity. That doesn’t help Kugler, it only pains him. Thus, when we are to do justice for others on earth, we must redefine justice by not condemning others, but by rather seeing each other as entire beings with purpose and by attempting to educate the individual and unify him/her with the rest of the world.

“Kugler, Ferdinand is sentenced to lifelong punishment.”
This quote is important because it shows the judges final decision and what happened to Kugler. It shows the ending of the story and tells us what will happen to Kugler.

“Judges know only about your crimes; but I know everything about you.”

This quote reveals that God really doesn’t judge you and that being an actually judge in real life means judging your crime not you as a person.
