The light is always there. That's one of the cruel aspects of life sometimes and one of its greatest blessings. Sometimes you can be so far from it you'll never reach it in time to stop what is chasing you in the dark from catching you and you know it. But your eyes and heart seek it to the end just the same.

Is not a form of justice/revenge our modern penal institutions? Societal revenge.
 Quoting: Facts>feelings


Yes.

But more like 'personal reaction' to.


For example, I believe it was 2 evening ago a thread popped up regarding a 3 y/o child being hung upside down and beaten to death.

The responses I read on page one, will demonstrate exactly what I am talking about.

Where is the line?

I don't want to read that thread. Ill take your word on it. I can imagine.

The line is one of those ever evolving questions we struggle with individually and as a society... it seems there is no other way than to treat each case individually.

It seems to me the line from a civilized perspective is where the perpetrator never wants to do it again and is forced into some kind of remorse for their actions if none is present. Also you want them to be an example for ppl of a similar mind set to dissuade them from the same behavior. It's not a perfect system but it's better than all out eye for an eye.
 Quoting: Facts>feelings


Yes. I just read part of the first page. Then hoped it would fall off the 'Front page'.

I think it went as far as it did, due people feeling the need to express the rage they felt regarding. So as, said headline did not 'ruin their day', make them feel like 'punching a wall', or utter hopelessness in the human race as a whole.

Venting. But the venting was so very dark. For such a crime, is it justified?
 Quoting: Seer777


If the venting does as it's name suggests and releases pressure then I suppose it can be a good thing. Back to holding it in can harm you or build into rage they may be acted on.
