Far too often the criminal is treated as the victim, 'oh he's had a rough childhood...'etc etc
Actually, we have to thank criminals and smilar people to carry the karma for us.
Humanity has a Shadow and it needs to get expressed.
(I took this from psychology texts)
SOMEONE has to take the shadow on.
Otherwise, it would poison the whole humanity.
Take Germany....they are SO proper,
they supressed the shadow right deep down in the past.
RESULT? Two world wars.
Criminals give us feeling we are actually good.
They give us themes for most films, news, ect.
And we want more of it!
They are important,
very important.
They are sacrificed for the peace of the world.
One day humanity is mature and Shadow integrated,
and criminals will naturally disappear,
but now we do indeed need them.
Lets be glad that those sacrificial sheep that mostly suffer (even for us) whole life, first at home, later in prison
are not us!
I purposefully went into the extreme,
yes, they do hurt others...
I know.
But without them there would be Third world war or end of da world,
with them we can fight- them, lol.
Lets be objective and see all sides...as compassion and silent gratitude (as well) is in place,truly.
Really.
