Always try to find good in everyone, for there is good even though all we see is negative. Hurts and betrayal run deep and block the good that people have inside...

So you don't believe that there are people who are just bad, because that's how they want to be? I do.

@Serenitree: no, we don't start off bad, something inside makes us become bad

@Raffie: yes. So? You can look into the eyes of the person who killed a loved one and say I know that deep down you're really a good person. I look at him and say "Die"

He was a good person before he became evil. We were not born evil. I had a situation where a doctor committed malpractice and changed my life forever with his mistake, and emotionally I died inside, I chose to forgive him instead of being bitter. He didn't start off wanting to hurt me so I didn't want him to die. It's a matter of choice forgive or be angry.

Serenitree...thank you for hearting my reply!

I'm glad for you. I hope you pressed charges and at least tried to make sure he doesn't do the same to more people.

Also, you said he made a mistake. I'm not talking about mistakes. I'm talking about deliberate acts of malice. I don't care how cute and innocent they were as newborn babies. I don't care who made them what they are today. If they are bad now, I'm not looking to forgive the innocent infant who never hurt anyone.

Bad is bad. Evil is as evil does. It's not my job to forgive evil. I've heard that there is someone better qualified to make that judgement, and it sure isn't me.
