Is the life of a convicted murderer worth as much as the life of a potential murder victim?
Your opnion. Give me details of your reasoning.?
its depend on the situation....we can%26#039;t simply judge...
Your opnion. Give me details of your reasoning.?
That depends on what you mean by %26quot;worth%26quot;
Reply:On the most part I would say no. A cold blooded killer who has killed innocent people is worthless and should be treated as such.
Reply:It depends on that person%26#039;s skills and attributes, and that person%26#039;s flaws and such.
Reply:All life is sacred irrespective of who you are or what you have done.
So in essence, yes the life of a convicted murderer is worth as much as the life of a potential murder victim.
From a personal point of view I would never want to be in the position to decide whether someone dies. I think it would stay on my conscience forever.
However, my thoughts aside, in some cases a person does deserve to have their life cut short because of the atrocities they have carried out and the danger they pose to others. I am glad there are people strong enough to take that decision for the good of us all.
Reply:Life has worth.
That is what matters, independent of circumstance,
One must be alive to help another person.
One must be alive to be spiritual.
One must be alive to transmute the passions.
One must be alive to possess selflessness.
Yet there is a time to be born and a time to die.
Reply:Life is life. When it comes to human life, all is equal.
Your question is flawed due to a mere potential of someone being a murder victim. We are all potential murder victims.
The example that you provided of a convicted murderer also has a flaw. Being convicted of murder is, of course, a very serious charge. However, was the murderer in any way remorseful of his actions? We will charge him, convict him, and place him behind iron bars. We will see to it that he will never be able to commit another crime ever again. But will he show that he is truly sorry for what he has done?
Additionally, was the murder an act of pure intention, or one of accident. We must be sure. We need proof.
Not long ago our state presented us with a constitutional referendum re-instating the death penalty. The referendum passed. I voted against it. Not because I believe that we should not be able to punish such crimes, The death penalty should be set aside but for the most grotesque of crimes. But because of the fact that humans are flawed and our science is fallible, we can never truly be sure.
If we are wrong, and an innocent man is put to death, what have we gained?
Reply:All worth is relative; that means, every thing can be worth, not a squirt of pee or, millions of dollars, depending on who you ask, and what the situation is. Maybe the convicted murderer is loved by someone who would be willing to put others at risk just so they could keep him/her around. Everybody will decide for themselves what those lives are worth. I personally don%26#039;t think a murderer is worth much of anything, but that%26#039;s speaking generally; it could depend on the specifics of the situation.
Reply:All human life created by God is sacred. All humans are created equal by God. We do not own our lives, we are simply stewards.We must follow God%26#039;s laws or we will become separated from him.
Reply:Why is this a question of one persons life versus another%26#039;s?
Life without parole is an option in 48 states (all except Alaska and New Mexico.) It means exactly what it says, and the worst criminals do not get out. Ever.

Being too Perceptive is a Curse - Ignorance is Bliss?
its one of those days when im feeling really perceptive or intuitive. you think it would be fun and all but when someone starts a joke, with just the few starting lines you already know whats gonna happen and what the joke is about.
when your watching a movie, it seems predictable and your already playing the ending scene in your head, this makes you miss out on suprises, the simple things in life.
while everyones laughing or crying, youll be like %26quot;I knew it%26quot;
take a few steps back and this is exactly how were living our lives, its the unknown of life that makes it interesting, if we knew it all there wouldnt be any point in living and weve met the sole drive for our existence, your thoughts?
Being too Perceptive is a Curse - Ignorance is Bliss?
te reason intuition is difficult or me is that I really feel people around me, and, that is exhausting...
anxious, sad, stressed, dangerous, desperate, miserable, lonely, angry........... its like, when someone talks to me I barely hear what they say sometimes because my brain is registering so much else about them.
Being too Perceptive is a Curse - Ignorance is Bliss?
I remind myself to be selfless.
Not full of myself.
But to empty myself so that I can receive.
Reply:Intuition or pattern recognition. Knowing what%26#039;s going to happen can be both confidence inspiring and conversely boring.
Reply:By getting nervous too and tired when you perceive things too much, And seemingly never ending bugging intuitions that may even cause you sleepless nights without even knowing exactly the reason. But only a brisk of some eerie wind that may had passed your thought and mind.
It is not really about anxiety nor just being so restless..
But may feel strangely differently when you come to think or feel a certain thing that comes to you, oftenly unexpected. It will even try you more in your lucid dreams.
Ignorance seems to be bliss and you don%26#039;t have to be aware of these strangely perception and no chance to get bugged off at all. You may sleep well and exist without too much cares in life.
Reply:If you ever got to that stage, with such a negative feeling then you have been heading in the wrong direction. The path to truth (Al Haqq) and true knowledge (useful knowledge for the hereafter) should lead to a state of bliss and not despair. Moreover, only the Knower of All (Almighty God....Allah subhana wa ta%26#039;ala) knows all there is.
There is knowledge that is like nothing on this earth which our hearts should yearn for....from the celestial realms. The polishing of the heart could take us there, insha%26#039;Allah (God willing).
%26quot;Dear friend, your heart is a polished mirror. You must wipe it clean of the veil of dust that has gathered upon it, because it is destined to reflect the light of divine secrets.%26quot; --- Abu Hamid Al-Ghazzali

What do you all think of this poem?
The sun is my deity.
Born and dead again each day,
Living a thousand diminutive lives.
The lights fading in on the stage of survival,
And the dancers shriek to life in silence.
The hours unfold, and the ribbons are cut as it falls.
The wires skulk to the end
Of each other.
All bursts to life and all are electrocuted again.
The ends of the earth meet,
Balancing delicately on the edge of the universe,
Their brutal kisses mark the end.
For light and dark are lovers,
Meeting in secret elegance,
As twilight bows its familiar skull.
And the goodness is evil,
And the evil wants to be good,
And in their cruel kindness, nothing is sealed.
The light shines solid,
Wafting in bright, moving immobility,
Pulling itself together in smiling quiet as the night cleaves it apart again.
The night芒锟斤拷s selfish desires sink the sun,
But the night is not to blame,
For the sun has planned its suicide.
And all the world can hear the words,
Chiming harsh, and drearily correct,
As the white and the black ceaselessly quarrel.
And as the war is hushed,
The bodies are still,
And the tacit stars burn brightly.
What do you all think of this poem?
if in this world there are many person
who love you then
you should know one of them is me
if there is only one perso in this world
who loves you
that only person is me
if u think there is no one who loves you
u should know that i am not in this world

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach
with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene,
he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.
One belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed
that many times along the path of his life,
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened
at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him
and he questioned the Lord about it.:
