2. All the emotions we have, including hatred, have purposes...

if for no other reason than to understand what the object of the hatred truly wants. Of course, one shouldn't dwell on hatred, esp. as this atrocity for us plays out in pixels and words. There is also a gratification which comes from justice, and this is proper as well, even when experienced from afar. But gratification as a reflection of justice is even more important for those directly involved.

My soul and well-being will not be unduly affected knowing this vicious sociopath will spend the rest of his life confined in a small cell away from humane society, hopefully in complete anonymity and with the greatest economy to the state.
