Death Sentence

“Meals to die for” >-<

This title made me think the concepts of having “Death Sentence” as the punishment.

Question here is that “Seriously, do we really need Death Sentence to have in this world?”

Speaking frankly, I have no right to judge if this kind of punishment should be existed or not.

I may not know how many unforgiveable crimes are happenings around the world.

But I do believe that, no matter which religion you are in, God or Buddha or whatever, they definitely did not encourage killing anyone.

And no matter how horrific and unforgiveable the crime was, from my point of view, whatever done was done. You cannot get back the lost no matter how you try. So should we take one more life to attain the thing called “Justice” and “Equality”? I am not sure about this too. But I am very sure that Life is full of unfairness, so what for we need to take someone’s life as punishment?

You can make a person to stay in prison for his/her whole life if they can be too harmful to others. So why can’t “Life Sentence” be the highest punishment?

True fact is that people‘s mind are so unpredictable. The depth of cruelty can go beyond much more than what you can imagine. We all know about this.

Maybe being Buddhism makes me so much believe in Karma. I feel that one person has no duty to get rid of another person’s life as punishment. Law is Law. But all the Laws are created by human being. And all the lawyers and judges can control and amend those Laws whenever they need, right?

So let me ask again that “Do we really need to have Death Sentence”?

One day, I really hope that someone can tell me why we must have to have “Death Sentence”.

Anyway, “Life is the most precious thing and Death is the thing that you will never escape in this world”

So why do we need to give Death Sentence as punishment?
