One of the things I love about it. I can explore the concept from various angles and dissect and really pay attention to why people behave as they do.

I understand that most people feel as you do - and I expliot that in an effort to turn it around, but people will ususally ignore any message that conflicts with their personal morality.

and as for experienceing it personally. A dear friend suffered terribly. Her father was murdered in Dallas when she was 14 years old. They caught the guy, convicted him and (being in Texas) gave him a rather speedy execution. My friend went with her mother to the execution thinking it would give them closure...

Steph still wakes up at night screaming. It ruined her marriage. The loss of her father was awful and something that can never be trivialised, but watching the execution has left her permanently scarred.
