to state it clearly and obviously for war criminals....i would
rather have them punished by the court legally....if anyone of them
escaped....i would rather that he be hunted and be executed with
the law in our own hands....
measure for measure....if kindness and compassion rules the day
on this particular issue...we might as well abolish all legal
systems ... there would be no need of it...and let criminals run
amok without punishments....let moralists teach with profits in
their pockets without being punished....
One thing good about being kind and compassion is helps prevent
the situations of creating a lot of criminals from arising in the
first place.
Kindness and compassion is'nt about touchy and feely sort of
showing emotion. It must be tempered with wisdom to the best of
ability, it is also about individual accountabilty. One must be
accountable for one's own actions.
Also, ever heard of "spare the rod and spoil the child"? Does
that mean you are unkind and uncompassionate to the child?
Legal system are deterrents, and changes with the times. As long
as there are more than one person, concept of self interest exist.
Laws and regulations are meant to preserve status quo, and
give a measure of equitability and some recompense to the victims.
It is the stronger that bullies people, it is also the strong
that protects people. Both emerges from the weak, what values do
you wish to inculcate?
