A funny thing happened this afternoon, I was waiting to pick up my great nephew from kindergarden, and was thinking about an old friend Martin, how was his Buddhism beliefs were going in his current life.
When I got home, there on KingTV, Seattle was a report of Martin, being investigated for Identity Thief, this is odd because he is in prison for 4 guilty convictions of manslaughter.
Who is monitoring his computer time, his incoming, and outgoing mail, his visitors???
Yes, I know someone who has been convicted of killing someone. Not only that this is not the 1st person I have known convicted of this, the other person was a co-worker who stabbed his wife to death.
I also believe in the death penalty, in absolute cases. Clifford Olson, and Charles Manson to me are guilty, and should have had their lives ended as they ended their victims.
Someone asked me when Martin was being tried if he is found guilty would I still believe in the death penalty. I had to say yes with a tear in my eye. You can’t have it one way for people you don’t know, and another for people you do.
Do I know or have known other people who have had run in’s with the law. Yes, drugs, murder, embezzlement, fraud, bullying and when you reach a certain age, you also will find you know people from walks of life that you would never think you would know.
Lucky for me I know a wide variety of people from all backgrounds, and occupations, which means I can surround myself with the good, funny, positive people.
Identity Thief while in prison, Martin Pang please tell me it isn’t so. Stick to writing articles on Buddhism and how it has changed your outlook on life since being in prison.
The world confuses me at times, and today I was confused again.
Hugs Always
