Talking about the death penalty, corruption should be in the list of crimes deserving this punishment as well. Corruption effects more people in more than one way. It can slow down development, endangers life, destroy businesses and lead to more corruptions and crimes. The perpetrator is more deserving to go the gallows compared to anyone else, don't you think?
Some people argue that death penalty is against human right, cruel, have no place in developed society yada yada yada. I wonder if these people have ever talked to the victims, or the people effected by the crime or become one of them themselves?
Yes, the will to forgive is truly what differentiate a human from another, but try talking about forgiveness after being punched on the nose or after getting poked in the eye by someone or after you find your partner doing it with someone else.
It is human nature to see wrong-doings being justly punished. It is also human nature to show mercy. But when one is so consumed with rage or hatred or greed or lust or overwhelmed with sadness or grief, is the desire to be just or being merciful still there?
I wonder, how do lawmakers, juries and judges sleep at night?
