i believe in advocacy but im also a critical person, and have learned to hold myself to the same standards as those with greater abilities than me. i feel, if i do that, i will rise to the occasion. but how can i believe in two seemingly contradictory concepts...? because theyre not contradictory to me....in my mind...science and religion, patience and persuasion, accountability and forgiveness, good and bad, protecting victims and conviction, holding everyone to the same standards, not treating people different, but having mercy for EVERYONE!!!! and having standards and principals for EVERYONE!!!!! is equal treatment. they corroborate, validate, and confirm each other. we want to protect victims, but when a victim becomes a predator, we judge with no understanding of how they became who they are. is it okay to harm....? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! as human beings, we have a duty to hold accountable the criminals and those who harm others. what if they are one in the same? we hold them accountable, have them pay their dues, and respect their humanity. i dont agree with the death penalty, and i think that a general concept of love, consequences, accountability, patience, acceptance, forgiveness, gentleness, and firmness is vital to the well being of the human race. can you be strict but loving...? i believe so...
