This point I am going to make sits with my unpopular opinion only; being - that in this day and age the way we still have death as a means to sacrifice those which committed heinous crimes, along with prohibitive actions, applies the revenge society places on them. In my mind: Remorse should equal guilt. I do not want blood but that the victims who died in vain are not being honored by killing the same person that did them in.
In proper language, not psycho-semantics, this dialed in society that is attached to revenge. . . should be more diplomatic and forgiving. Instead, we seek justice through torture as practice? The irony. (Strangely enough it is not that we award fate to criminals getting away with murder.) It is that predictable behavior is not what we deserve, no matter due process for wrong-doing, there is no justice served for wanting an execution style society. What filters through? We must rise above capital punishment. We are better to believe the guilt of those that acted cruel to sentient beings are not rewarded by penalty we cannot be saved by. Salvation over revenge is my conclusion. As much as it hurts us to believe. I don't get pleasure seeing others suffer.
Let the confession of guilt - without which remorse we choose cruelty toward an end that involves our poor use of revenge. The result is more compassion than superiority over our neurotic, primitive need that capital punishment is our hope to salvation in each other. To harm another sentient being is a striking tragedy in itself which should not trigger other outcomes above all others, which means we can lead in light of not corrupting ourselves.
