This will be a touchy subject for many people I am sure. My husband and I actually disagree on this subject and that is ok. This site isn’t about being right or proving anyone wrong, it is about me speaking my truth in my heart.

So, my truth on Eye for an Eye. I absolutely believe in it. I believe that if someone (lets go to the extreme here for a second) were to torture which resulted in murder someone else in this day in age they know that they will either a) get away with it or b) end up in jail for the rest of their lives. Jail, where there is cable tv, 3 meals a day, showers, heat, air conditioner, and a gym. What is the true consequence?  NOW, take that same person who tortures and murders someone KNOWING that their punishment will be the EXACT thing they did to that person… don’t you think that might detour them? Me personally, I do.  I believe the evil in this world persists because the consequences really aren’t.

Ok… so back to the love side.   I believe each person (good or bad) was born with a pure spirit, a pure heart, and a pure mind.  Whatever their reason may be for turning “bad” is just a story. The truth is that pure spirit still exists & can be tapped into again. I DO believe that people who commit crimes and do horrible things CAN be loved back into a great spirit & heart. ALL the bad is stories and results of actions throughout life. Just like a blackboard, yes it can be all drawn on and crowded BUT it can be erased. Now there will still be evidence that something was drawn on there, but it can still be erased & re-written. 🙂

Eye for an Eye = maybe actions get evaluated before & chosen to not do.  ALSO, if done, those people can still be “loved” back into purity.

It is hard for me to see people who hurt others, especially people who hurt animals or children. Those are the purist spirits on this planet & to be hurt by someone not only hurts me, it hurts humanity. So I am probably too hard on judging. I am not perfect (far from it) but I am willing to see the spirit that resides in everyone (good or bad) and I am willing to try to make a difference to them.

What is so bad about an eye for an eye? Does it make us just as bad as them because we are willing to do the same act onto them? OR does it make us like “good parents” making sure the consequences are equivalent to the actions?

Honestly… THERE IS NO RIGHT ANSWER. Because both have acts that go against love. Love is what the ultimate goal is right? Love can not exist & grow where there is anger & hate.   I will stand by my beliefs until the world is mature enough to understand this universal truth….. Love is the only way.

SO I would love to hear your thoughts, no judgement because everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.
