You can certainly make this a logical implication statement ("Working for justice implies peace"), but if you want to keep the command nature, it's best to use a modal.It is an unspecified kind of causality: this is the result of that, no matter why.

At any rate, it's a case where causality is implied, but the order is reversed from what's expected (i.e., if <nowiki><effect></nowiki> is wanted, then do <nowiki><cause></nowiki>).

You can certainly make this a logical implication statement ("Working for justice implies peace"), but if you want to keep the command nature, it's best to use a modal.It is an unspecified kind of causality: this is the result of that, no matter why.


At any rate, it's a case where causality is implied, but the order is reversed from what's expected (i.e., if <effect> is wanted, then do <cause>).
