If, like Light, you were given the power and the opportunity to create your own morality, would you not be tempted to go down the same path?
Isn't this why everyone can divulge into the depths of the human mind and try to understand the morality and humanity in his path to creating " his own world"?
We are always tempted by the unknown.
From one of my favorite movies: " Look but don't touch, touch but don't taste. Taste but don't swallow."
Going on a little stretch the grass is always greener right?
We sometimes want things we can't or don't have because we think they are better in some way.
I could even pose the old theory...if time travel existed would go back in time and have Hitler executed?... Then what would the future be? who could possible predict that future and be accurate?
Changing one event would supposedly create an endless ripple through time.
We are all humans and we all have our own sense of right and wrong...freewill( provided your not in a country that stifles it) is what creates and destroys our world. The world will never follow 1 God and won't ever follow the same rules about society.
If you ask me, yes, a crime should be punished with an equal sentence.
So if you steal, something if stolen from you. If you rape ...yeah bubba is coming to visit...and if you kill then you will be killed. But what does this teach? It doesn't show the criminal that what they are doing is wrong b/c it's okay to do it back to them.
America's system of law enforcement is flawed as I'm sure other countries are as well, but what person or group can truly justify changing or making them?
If we did have one God who would come down the mountain and lay down the law then we couldn't really debate about what is right or wrong.
To me the " the 1 true God" seems to be the greener grass but if it was to ever happen...wouldn't I want something else then?
that's enough of my novel for the moment ( maybe some of us should get together and come up with a #1 best seller about the humanity of life...)
Since this is the deathnote thread I should probablly mentioned that at least once...that tennis match was awesome..makes me wanna start playing!
the cliffhanger ending has to be my favorite so far
well that's my 50 cents worth
