Judgement and Forgiveness

Have you ever wanted to change, but felt held to who you are by the expectations of those around you?

I want you to remember something, perhaps difficult. Think of, the first time you knew you were fundamentally different from, anyone you cared for.

Now tell me, how long do you think a young psychopath takes to notice their stark contrasts? How long before they hear through some media that their unique traits are, abhorrent and unforgivable by all.

Can you imagine, feeling such a thing? That there's no one who's going to defend you seriously. That your being is indifferent to being lovable. That, wide spread judgement of you is acceptable in most contexts. Imagine feeling that, by your teenage years.

What I advocate for, is wide-spread forgiveness. Now I know some might, resent the idea but I'm not asking you to do something because, you want to.

I'm asking this, because society needs to heal. Our justice system, or as I call it the Judgement system, hasn't resolved crime itself in any sense, poor nor rich.

If you chase a man with a threat on his life, he will simply run. We must make seeking better alternatives to crime, a simpler path to take.
