Also most criminals aren't as bad as you might think they are. They can be people with good hearts. Actions aren't always indicative of intent. Some people commit an action without any real intent behind it. It's in the moment. Most criminals are actually good people who went astray. They need good conditions and psychological help. They need redemption instead of punishment. God treats a sinner and a non sinner equally. Remember that the criminal was also someone's child at some point. No child deserves to be put to death by willingness.

You have to take into account that when a criminal commits crime there are many many factors responsible for it. Most of you probably don't have a single clue on criminal psychology. I have been studying criminal psychology for past 2 years now. And it reveals a lot of astonishing aspects Society has a huge role to play in the formation of a criminal. This statement by itself is proof against the death penalty. We find someone as a scapegoat for the evil within us. This sort of moralizing is doomed and doesn't yield results. The whole criminal system needs a different perspective to be approached with, a Meta perspective. When you go meta on the nature of crime, you'll see how ridiculous moralizing is. It doesn't solve anything at all. Moralizing and wanting the death penalty is pure Stage Blue with stage Orange undertones. When I looked into the case of Richard Ramirez, the infamous serial killer, I saw that his childhood trauma was pretty severe and the things he was subjected to, it wouldn't have been possible for him to turn out to be normal. Most hardened criminals don't have the luxury of a good childhood. I don't mean to say that everyone with trauma becomes a criminal. But the level of trauma and bad upbringing in cases of most criminals is quite severe and inhumane. It's not hard to see that such upbringing is a huge mitigating factor in the commission of the crime. The next factor is biology. You can't execute someone for their biology. That would be unfair. Criminals did not ask for the psyche they were born with. They didn't sign up for it Remember that when we condemn criminals for their wrong doings, we do so to protect our own survival and interests, nothing more. If the crime wasn't hampering our survival, we wouldn't even call it evil. All evil and good is mere perception. We create the evil we see. Executing evil is not the solution to evil Evil and crime can only go away when it's replaced by love and compassion. Instead of focusing on how to punish crime, focus on how to heal and prevent crime. If we have enough love and compassion in our society and raise every child with utmost love and compassion and put an end to child abuse, we can significantly reduce the frequency of crime.. The approach of love and compassion is important here and not that of moralizing.. In a way we are all sinners because we too contribute to the crime by not actively trying to prevent it. Most crime is the result of bad social conditioning, bad biology that can be fixed by empathy therapy and child abuse that needs to be fixed. Have you ever wondered why crime is much more frequent in poor communities rather than the rich ones? Why is that? Because desperate conditions tend to generate psychopaths. Abundant communities with a healthy dose of love and proper resources show significantly lower rates of crime. Crime is much much lower in wealthier communities. So it's best to invest money in developing communities instead of focusing too much on punishing and moralizing criminals. Crime is not an individual issue. It's a social and systemic issue that needs systemic healing, preventing solutions.

Also death penalty is inhuman. Two wrongs don't make a right. Killing a person is still wrong no matter what they do or did. They can be housed in prison or rehab and allowed to improve. Even hardened criminals can improve The power of forgiveness is needed here more than anywhere else.

Death penalty should not be supported. Instead of death penalty, they can be given a life sentence. Death penalty cases waste a ton of time and lots of money is thrown for constant appeals. The amount to keep an extra prisoner alive and feed him for life is significantly less than the cost of appeals.

@Illusory Self you suffer fear and insecurities that you need to get over.

Is rape beautiful too?

On one hand you say there's beauty in everything and on the other hand you say that you support the death penalty. Ummm... Facepalm Facepalm Facepalm

What's the beauty in all this?

@Something Funny ok.

I think the user Something Funny needed an accountability partner. You could be an accountability partner to him and in return he could be an accountability partner to you. Both can help each other and keep each other accountable. This guy @Something Funny

@Illusory Self can I know your zodiac sign?

@Razard86 well then, that's a compromise. I'm not going to compromise on my survival. If I had to opt between spirituality and survival, I choose Survival. I can't afford to lose my life.

@Razard86 isn't that obvious that how you view the world is contingent on how you are experiencing it first hand? That goes without saying and I don't see anything wrong with it. If people treated you well, you would have no Reason to complain and vice versa. It's called trauma for a reason - because it traumatizes you. The only problem however is when you excessively judge the world as negative and blame someone without reason, that's when you're entering the territory of bias, projection, dissonance and prejudice and I agree that this unreasonable perspective is rather unhealthy.

@Razard86 I'm not talking about treating others badly. And I don't believe in moralizing and moral shaming others. But when you're dealing with someone that could be life threatening, you can't afford to be saintly and Empathetic. You have to do whatever to get your ass out of that place far away from that person to avoid trouble It's called Self preservation. At that point its not even about evil or good anymore. I don't blame people who steal. They could be hungry or not having enough money. A lot of evil/harmful action happens because of deprivation and a stressful environment. I am compassionate towards criminals. But regardless you can choose to show love from a distance. You don't need to be friends with criminals.

@Razard86 some people are genuinely toxic and get into trouble. These people won't necessarily always be rude on the outside. They could be sweet and still cause a ton of harm. They could poison your food or steal your money. Happened to me. I was living in the dorm once. There was a couple living there. I had left my keys with them. They were extremely cordial and sweet with me and that made me trust them. I went to the store one day and when I returned back I saw that several items were missing including my backpack, shoes, expensive champagne glasses, a trench coat etc. They even poisoned my food with sedatives so that they could steal more while I slept. I changed the lock and key to the door and they somehow figured a way to break the door open when I wasn't around and stole again. I was too frustrated and I packed my bags and left the place for good. You can't change every toxic person. Sometimes you gotta cut them off from your life and be practical and do what's necessary to save your life. Spiritual advice in such matters can prove fatal. Spirituality is fine. But in real life, you gotta be practical while dealing with life threatening situations You can't afford to act spiritual if your life is on the line. It's just being human

@Razard86 you cannot let people walk all over you. How long would you allow that?

I can't thank you enough for this post. Your post is full of wisdom that will be of great help. I'm very thankful that you took the time to write such a thoughtful post. I'm going to be implementing a lot of the generous wisdom you offered in your post. I will be posting my own experience with motivation and my progress here. Thanks again. Incredibly helpful.

Do you have social anxiety? Have you been to a doctor?

I did. Garlic. And exposure to sunshine and lots of Vit D.

Nice share.

You need to push her actually.

Meh, I got ghosted after a six month relationship. Poof went my heart and burst like a balloon!

This is easier said than done, of course I'm going to be ghosting them in any case, either way if I don't intend to carry anything forward with a gentle guy, yet it leaves me with a sour feeling. I've always felt bad rejecting even if rejecting is the bad thing to do, and as you said, better than leading someone on. On the flip side, I have been dumped by text or ghosted (much worse) and it hurts like crazy. Maybe that's why I always felt bad turning people down.

@eos_nyxia and sometimes the reason why a person, generally women, ghost a guy is because the sense a lack of authenticity from the dude. A very long detailed response can sometimes come off as too much rambling and inauthentic.

Drink water before meditation. You could be pressuring yourself during the meditation. Be relaxed and let go any anxiety. Gag reflex is a general symptom of anxiety.
