You’re talking about what consequences should happen for an overall system of punishment in a society where you’re detached as a whole.
There is fundamentally no difference between believing the death penalty should not be used by society in general because killing is an immoral act, and believing that the death penalty should not be used in a specific case that impacted you directly because you believe that killing is an immoral act.
Arguing that you should forgive the people who hurt you because it’s the moral thing to do is what abusers do.
You’re the only person that is talking about forgiveness. I did not mention forgiveness. @Nougat did not mention forgiveness. No one said they forgave McConnell. No one said that he should be forgiven.
Nougat said that they believe it is wrong to take pleasure in the suffering of others when that suffering is not a result of their own choices. I’m inclined to agree with them. I don’t believe in karma and I do not believe random misfortune is a substitute for justice. I’m not forgiving McConnell or letting him off the hook for what he has done because his health is failing.
