A consensual theme of karma seems to be appearing here.
Here's a thought. ......
The pedophile created some karma. He went through a bad experience which may or may not be karma. All the people that acted violently towards the pedophile created some karma for themselves. To be glad the pedophile is suffering or to wish him suffering will create karma.
I choose to just see it and have no opinion.....but send a kind thought to the child and his family.
For the first time, I admit I agree with Yoda.
Again, hard for anyone to swallow this - but we are all
amply shaped by the society that brought us our understanding of what "justice" means. We contradict ourselves over what is immediately wrong and consider
the most linear and
isolated approach to control structural violence; more often than not -
only by its' surface presentation of such a person and what he/she presently does.
I believe what he's trying to say is that "karma" is universal. It exists
before and
after all forms of judgment. At times I felt really good
to just be able to imagine; on the surface level - some people (whom have hassled and ridiculed me to the bone) to suffer the same weight of implication as they did to mine, but I also cannot help but notice that "other" problems, either related or not related to this chain of thought as well as outside of these chain of events - just relentlessly appear in front of me. Thus I have to remind myself to accept that life is ultimately is given "as is".
I believe it all goes back to the historical human
unmet needs. I am a firm believer that no matter how vile the crime a person committed - history about that person's
unmet needs more or often than not - either unfullfilled, ignored or both. Especially when this happened at a young age when anyone just started to learn and feel about the world.
Anyway back to this, it's hard to give an opinion but we can only
observe what is happening but not
tolerating ourselves enough in understanding why this and that exists.
