Greeting and thank you all for your comments. It is obvious that "VictimRights" has been deeply hurt, victimized or is otherwise struggling with some painful issues. If this is the case, VictimRights, please seek the help and support you need before the pain you are struggling with destroys your life. The level of anger and hostility expressed in your comment may one day lead you to the very sort of actions that land so many people (People like myself!) in prison. I really hope that the next time we communicate it is not as cell-mates! Anger and hostility are poisons and they are the cause of the majority of suffering that exists today. Why add to it?
An interesting point that was brought up in the comments is whether or not violent criminals can change their ways, or even if they should be allowed the chance to. CAN humans change themselves for the better? Are we just the sum total of our worst behaviors? If a person pays his debt, completes his sentence, and has done the work of rehabilitation does that persons have the right to a "second chance" ? If not, what do we do with him or her.
Nothing an x-offender does can ever make up for what he or she did. That said, what do you think the best possible thing an x-violent offender can do with his or her life after being released from prion? In my case, I hope to help people who struggle with similar issues that I did and just maybe a few of those people won't go on to spread their pain to others.
I look forward to reading you comments.
P.S, Thanks for the support, :)
