    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

      3. Regarding people out on bail for violent crimes - People in western countries are painfully conflicted. They want to be both forgiving/caring and tough on crime. Both choices have undesirable consequences, in application (as opposed to theory) they don't both work together well at the same time. Maybe they can, but application is a beeyatche.
      Spot on. I wonder if it's because we place so much emphasis on the importance of the individual?

        You can't put too much emphasis on the individual (individuals exist. Conglomeration a of people are artificial).

        The problem is: which individual do you put the emphasis on - the one who does horrible things, or the one to whom horrible things are done?
