good world

Whenever topics like the death penalty and Japan are discussed, someone always throws this argument:
If your daughter is raped and then killed, what would you want to do with the murderer? ! Or
if your loved one gets chopped off by the Japanese, do you want to chop that Japanese up? !
So I can only say that if I were the unfortunate father, I would hope that the murderer would be chopped into meat sauce dumplings to eat; if I were a survivor of the massacre, I would hope that the Yamato nation would be destroyed.
Because of this, I will not think from the perspective of the client, because the client will inevitably lose his mind and do more wrong than the murderer. Nor should we allow the parties to be the decision makers in handling these events.

Unfortunately, we do not always have the opportunity to act as a third party, and uncertain emotional factors dominate us almost at any time. Man is not God, so he will always be impersonal. Just like some economists clamor that prices are out of equilibrium because there are too few moments of equilibrium.

If I were American, at the moment the World Trade Center collapsed, I would have wished to raze the immediate Islamic world to the ground, rather than spend my time searching for where the terrorists are hiding. If I were the Secretary of Homeland Security, faced with the threat of a terrorist attack and a plausible suspect, I'd say fuck procedural justice fuck individual rights, 10 million people are going to die, I don't care how many such a one.
But I wasn't, so I shouted out, so I made a movie to expose the government's bottom line, attack the power and seize the golden man in the voice of the people's anger. Which is right or wrong depends only on whether the Egyptian's bones are hard enough.
The latter should be thankful that his voice can be heard by everyone, because the former cannot hinder the freedom of speech no matter how powerful it is, because some rights are always firmly in the hands of the people themselves.

This is basically a good world, and a good world doesn't need God, or smart or self-proclaimed smart people, just separation and checks and balances of power.
