Have empathy for Pedophiles

[Rafael Thundercat]

Lets hve empathy for Russel brand now. I can see that this Forum have a difficult time to actually call corruption by its name. No need to trying to justify the unjustifiable. Let the Infinite Mercy for God. Here on earth there is a need for restitution, healing and justice.

I think that the belief that there is no evil, that evil is relative, or that judging people for demonizing and dehumanizing evil, or overempathizing with “evil” people because of their childhood trauma and lack of love, is a Stage Green perspective and an important part of conscious growth, and is valid.

But it is limited because it may over-relativize harmful behavior, struggle with boundaries, or center the perpetrator’s pain as much as (or more than) the victim’s safety.

Maybe a more Tier 2 approach would be, on one hand, not to demonize “evil” people, but also to understand that there is such a thing as evil behavior and the systemic factors that lead people to develop harmful pathologies.

This includes understanding that even people who act evil are still part of the One, of God and unity, who have forgotten this and act from a mentality of separation and unconscious behavior rather than something inherent in the person itself.

And at the same time, recognizing that this behavior is harmful and must be stopped by applying practical solutions like healing, shadow work etc. and by creating systems that reduce such behavior.

Yeah, and people tend to come out of prison more damaged than when the went in. Prison removes the immediate danger for society, but doesn't solve the problem in the long run. If the world developed empathy for criminals in general, we would have proper rehab and lasting solutions. A culture that just wants to punish ends up shooting itself in the foot.
