death penalty

I'm not sure where I stand on the issue of the death penalty. Killing surely won't bring back the lost lives. And definitely, a mistake does not correct itself by making another mistake. Yet what if you know the victims? Or worse, you're the victim? (knock on the wood)

Jesus taught us to love and forgive; death penalty is definitely not within this context. Kasi naman ang tao, kailangan pang takutin bago tumino... And more often than not, kahit nga meron ng capital punishments, crimes still exist.

I'm not inspired by our president's actions against this punishment, in fact wala na nga akong alam sa current events e. Instead I was moved by the book The Chamber by the infamous John Grisham. It's about Sam Clayhall, a Klucker who was sentenced to die through the gas chamber and his long lost grandson representing him. I haven't finished it yet, actually I don't plan to finish it anymore. I'm discouraged of sad endings. I can't stand stories the don't end with "they live happily ever after". Sobra akong naaapektuhan haha!

That's the first pocketbook I've opened after... I don't know. Antagal na rin. Ofcourse Madisson Finn series don't count since I'm talking of my-age novels. Harry Potter 6 ata yung last.

Dami ko pa naman nasa listahan na babasahin... tsk tsk. Maybe I'd try a new strategy. Yung one chapter a day. Hmmm... righteous.
