Is Murder Justifiable
Is murder ever justifiable?
“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”. This universal phrase, used by Ghandi many years ago, is still used to reinforce the fact that if one murders another they don’t deserve to be killed. If people thought like this the human race would come to extinction. Many believe that if someone was to kill your loved one, you would have the right to kill in retaliation. If someone kills (who do they kill) do they deserve to be killed? The answer is no, because regardless why they killed there is no reason in continuing the chain of senseless slaughter. I can’t feel how many would have felt in a situation where there might be a strong reason to murder, but not many would want to have the burden of guilt for taking the life of anyone - even one who deserves it. This in of itself is damning, but with the justice system as well, which is harsh even on those who have committed “petite” crimes like robbing from a convenience store. Imagine the punishment for a crime as extreme as murder. From this we see that, even in the most extreme of cases, murder is not justifiable in any way.
There is no logical reason for taking the life of another in no way is it justifiable, with the added bonus of justice there is also the internal feeling of knowing you have committed an unanswerable crime of violence and you walk freely. Have you ever done something you know are not right and have the guilt eat away at you until you have to come clean (shorten this question)? Imagine that same feeling ten times worst because you took the life of another one who might not have believed in heaven or hell and this was their only chance to live for anything .This all because you have a believe that they had wronged you( not needed). The guilt alone is as painful as justice because it can send people mad with this feeling and some even go as extreme as suicide (redundant). Guilt can also send you in the direction of hurting or even killing your loved ones the
