RIGHT DOING: I love right doing ...

... it's related to righteousness as a verb, and I'm in favor of righteousness.
It was a seven-year legal struggle with dazzling stakes -- five precious paintings by Austrian icon Gustav Klimt that a California woman said were stolen from her Jewish family by the Nazis.
And I love even more when a real wrong, a real injustice, is made right!
Now, a court ruling made public on Monday will likely resolve the high-profile case against Austria's government in her favor.

The Austrian arbitration court determined the country is legally obligated to give the paintings to Maria Altmann, the heir of the family who owned them before the Nazis took over Austria in 1938, the Austria Press Agency reported.
We should all understand this is just the tip of the ice-berg; thousands and thousands of families were victimized by the Nazis and currently don't have the wherewithall to do what Altman has done. I pray to God, if He tarries long, that many more will be satisfied.
