It is very easy to think we are innocent but that is absolutely self-deceiving.
I tell you why.
Have you not for once in your life thought that someone who is condemned to die deserves what he got? if you have once done so, what makes you more innocent than somebody who kills because he believes his victim deserves to die?
Have you not for once in your life persuaded someone to have sex with you even when he or she initially would have loved to keep it for another day? if you have done so, what makes you more innocent than one who all the way forces one to have sex with her because she would not accept his or her initial plea?
Have you not for once in your life thought that somebody's action is irresponsible? if you have have done so, what makes you more innocent than somebody who calls another irresponsible because of how he or she acts?
Have you not for once said what is said to you in confidence to another person even though you did not mention names? If you have done so, what makes you more innocent than a priest who discloses a confessional secret?
Have you not for once looked lustfully on either a man or woman? if you have done so, what make you more innocent than someone who pays to satisfy his lust?
Have you not for once said something stupid about people's religion? If you have done so, what makes you more innocent than those who see religion as lame and irrational?
It is not just about what we do alone. It is also about what we think. None of our actions is absolutely a product of chance. Actions and intentions come together to make one culpable or innocent. Of course that is why one who kills for fun is guilty of murder while one who kills in self-defence is not even though there is a lost of life in both instances.
If you are so innocent then better live our world because the world we live in is not innocent either. The world cannot claim innocent when it has witnessed an uncountable evils without doing anything.
Looks like i have become a moralist here. Wonders shall never end!!!
