Death is not a solution
Jun. 12th, 2001 01:10 pmWell. They topped off McVeigh. None of the bombing victims came back from the death. McVeigh's family are probably now in a lot of emotional pain.
God help us, God help a place where guns are in a lot of homes, and people seek death as a solution to death.
God bless the country where I live, where capital punishment is abolished, where guns are not common amongst those that don't really need them, that the majority of people have been brought up to believe that gratuitous violence is not a viable solution to anything.
Hell, Australia ain't perfect. It's not all that bad, however.
I've been told I'm wearing rose coloured glasses, because I don't think killing McVeigh was the right thing to do, that killing any criminal was the right thing to do.
Tell me - who chooses who can die? Who has the right to play God? Only God can choose who lives and who dies. One day, someone will choose who dies, and the pro-capital people won't like it. Till then, I guess I'm a hippy with no grasp on reality.
So be it. I'm happy to be a person that is opposed to death, no matter what the circumstances.
I prayed for McVeigh's soul, and I asked God that McVeigh would learn why what he did was wrong in the next life, and have the opportunity to atone for his sin in some way. We all deserve a chance to make up for something bad we've done, because we've all done wrong in some way or another. As it's said, Judge not lest ye be judged baby. Karma can be a lover and a bitch, all depends on how good you treat it. I also prayed that those killed by McVeigh's wrong actions are safe and happy where they are, and that their families can get some peace of mind, not from his death but from their own enlightenment to the situation and the way of life. Nobody asks for bad things to happen to them, but they do. We all have to deal with them in our own way.
