Reply #2: Holding another's innocent death or life

[undergroundpanther]

in your hands is absolute power.And it corrupts absolutely.
That is why the STATE definitely cannot be trusted,they'd kill to save $$$..Family cannot be trusted but they are slightly more trustworthy,but also more vulnerable to abuse the side of preserving life than anyone else may be .
Regardless,holding others lives and deaths in your hands is god-like absolute power and god-like power corrupts the power holder every time ..as it blinds them to seeing compassion and reality..

Some soldiers and serial killers have said when they are killing others they feel invincible immortal powerful,like gods.
And some people believe in miracles,that free will is absolute, that god will intervene in their loved ones life even when reality says otherwise.

The Human Condition hurts us so much we strive to be like gods to escape it.And yet here we are.
