A Question as we move deeper into the 21st Century....

[BrendaBrick]

3. This is a good post and poses something rather profound as to TRY and understand just WHY

people DO what they do?

I would say that beyond the immediate urge for revenge lies mostly...(at its very essence) layers and layers of confusion above all - Why oh why would someone want to kill another?

Surely they were not born that way....were they? Call me naive, but unless something is really missing from the getgo in a child, some kind of brain mis-function or screwy wiring or something...something, SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY got really, really SCREWED UP!

I suppose this is nothing new in 2012. Rape, pillage, murder etc throughout time...throughout the centuries. shrug.

This idea of vengeful justice versus indifferent or rather impartial punishment as you have posted assumes...what? That life is so sacred to begin with?

Pardon me for being the pessimistic misanthrope. Honestly, I believe that if someone were to come up to me nowadays and explain all of the advantages of being born to begin with, I'm afraid that I would have to honestly answer: Life? Nah. I wouldn't personally recommend it to begin with.

(Sorry if this is a downer post...just being brutally honest.)
