Forgive & Forget, or Not?
After, researching homicide and various different murderers and serial killers I started to judge these human beings. I also started to think about the victims and their families. I thought about the serial killer Jr., John Wayne Gacy. He owned his own business and would hire teenage young man and would sexually harrassed his male employees. He was later charged and plead guilty to trying to handcuff and force his employee to preform sexual acts on him. He molested and killed 33 young man total and buried most of the bodies under his home, which caused a terrible smell in his home. I started to think about if I was a member of the victims families and how I would feel? If it were my son, grandson, brother, nephew, or cousin, and how I would react? I won' t say what I would think or what I would do, because I don't want to inflence any opinions, but I would like to know how would you feel and would you be able to forgive and forget?

My view, however, contrary to what the author has argued, is what was the killer's mental state. I mean if he had mental disorders then he was not being a normal person and could think right and so were his actions. But, if he was normal person and had no mental disorder then it is, if not impossible, very very hard to forgive and forget.
ReplyDeleteI would beable to forgive with or without the mental disorder. holding anger in only hurts yourself and makes the offender get off on your pain more. Forgetting is another story because it is impossible to forget terrible things.
