"I wonder how many people feel the same way you do?" People who have given thought to the limitations the human condition, should understand that the human justice system can work within its limitations. The system is designed to bring resolution and reconciliation to social human endeavor. Some things in the temporal universe simply cannot be fixed once broken. Deeds committed and falling into the category of heinous crime are in that realm of un-fixable. The perp cannot be reconciled with society and no alternative arrangements have shown themselves to be resolute. People who feel that, in the context of eternity all things are made perfectly just, might feel the same way I do. People caught up in the false dichotomy that life is sacred so death must be a horrid outcome of life would probably not feel the same way I do. People caught up in the false notion that forgiveness includes condoning heinous deeds without recourse would probably not 'feel the same way'. People who are caught up in the false notion that you can ever 'get even' in a temporary and un-even existence, via vengeance, would probably not feel the same way. People with unmet emotional needs would probably not feel the same way. People overly focused on political agendas would probably not feel the same way. Control freaks who believe they can change the world would probably not feel the same ... for starters.
