Blog Posted by Dr.Ram Mehta: 5/18/2014 5:11:00 AM

Dear Poets,


Please read the meaning of the term "Measure for Measure" below and then 
enter you poems for the contest.

Those who have entered the contest, please revise your poems if need be
after reading the the explanation below.

The term "Measure for Measure" arises from a combination of the Old Testament's 
Law of retribution(lextalionis-) "eye for an eye" or Tit for Tat" and New Testament's Mathew 7:1-2- 

'judge not, that ye be not judged, ye shall be judged, and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

In other words, "don't be so quick to judge other people because nobody is
perfect and everyone is subject to God's judgement".

Other synonyms of Measure for Measure are: Payback, Vengeance, revenge
Getting even, Vindication and retaliation. 

Thanks,
