I don't want heavy-handed punishment, but when an individual does wrong, it's the job of society (other individuals) to provide some sort of correction. If induced compassion eliminates corrective action, then compassion may not not always be a positive thing. The other way of looking at it would be we need to think of corrective action in terms of putting the wrongdoer on the right track rather than simply as punishment.Kelle Campbellhttp://www.kcwriter.comnoreply@blogger.com
