Been thinking about man's inhumanity today. As the US dwells on whether to execute a man in California, there are calls to publicly beat a man who has moved in only a few blocks away from the bunker.
When do we learn compassion? Is it as a child and the lesson is forgotten when reaching adulthood? Is it something we're taught as an ideal, but not practicable? Everyone knows that greed is bad, yet it's the very engine that drives our economy and culture.
So, having said that, is cruelty what drives our justice system? I speak in a western "we" including most of Europe, North and South America. We spend little to no effort rehabilitating people. We're more concerned with incarceration and punishment.
