RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge Season8 Week1: What is the value of life?
Oh wow! You stole my heart with the following words;
"the principles of forgiveness and mercy hold great significance"
Maybe I am just like a child... simple in my thinking. I trust and I want to forgive.
Will I feel the same if my daughter or my grandchildren are raped or murdered? I honestly don't know.
One thing I do know is that I would not like the death penalty as punishment.
PS: If you don't get to write a post no problem. I got my answer from your comment. (•ิ‿•ิ)
It's completely understandable to feel conflicted about forgiveness and mercy in the face of heinous crimes like rape and murder, especially when it hits close to home with loved ones. It's a complex topic that requires deep introspection and empathy towards the victim and their family. Regarding the death penalty, many people share your sentiment. The justice system is far from perfect and there have been cases where innocent people were sentenced to death.
I studied law at the age of 35. My worse nightmare was getting a client who I know is guilty but I have to proof the opposite.
Luckily I never got to experience it. (•ิ‿•ิ)
I'm planning to share an article tomorrow about the value of life and the death penalty, and I wanted to let you know that I'll be mentioning you in it. I've actually already written the article today, but I won't be able to post it until tomorrow because of the contest rules that only allow one submission per day. I'm excited to hear your feedback on it once it's up!
Goody! I see it was posted.. let me love you and leave as I have a post to read (•ิ‿•ิ)
