(I used to teach high school so this actually makes sense to talk about due to the students watching programs like Jerry Springer, the news, and living where they live with who they live with or don’t live with.)
Not killing people is good. It shows some restraint and ethical character. Why? Well, I am sure we have all had emotions that might lead anyone to kill that mysterious person you hopefully spared. In general, killing relinquishes only a moment of some kind of happiness or maniacal delusion of happiness. Sometimes it is just efficient for the moment and doesn’t even cause happiness in the errant heart.
On the deficit side - it causes a lifetime of misery, not only for the murderer who is incarcerated but also for all the associated family and friends and humanity in general. And money spent on housing these murderers instead of showing them the errors of their ways and educating them which should have happened earlier as a priority of our society, – don’t even go there. Our violent, racist, capitalist society made em’ and we should help them get back on the good trolley of society heading down the track to responsibility. Then they can teach the others. Hire the murderers to reeducate.
(Otherwise, they just hang around the corners and smoke and drink for lack of things to do; perhaps die early of lung cancer and cirrhosis of the liver and previous, high carbohydrate prison food - getting off the track a little there but true at any rate, but there is no disposable soul, even in this disposable culture.)
Yes, murder takes away from us all in a holistic, spiritual sense. In general, it is self-indulgent to kill someone. Why do you get to do that and we don’t? What’s so special about you? You broke the law.
You don’t even have a degree or do have a degree, whatever! - It is frustrating to those of us who have self control, and makes us want to kill you (ergo: oops - death penalty). But aren’t we special, we made it a law so we could kill you. See – pseudo-intelligence can pay off for a while. But society keeps growing and is realizing in a broader scope that the self-controlling, moneyed, politically elite are just killing too. It entertains the rabble and keeps them from wanting to kill the real culprits – politicians! But - that’s right, the Wild West is coming to an end and consciousness is winning. This is old news but needs saying again. That’s it.
