If you read the story at the link above, it may give you hope for the human race.  I have always been against the death penalty.  But when someone who was shot in the face and blinded in one eye can ask that the person who did it not be put to death, I think that is awesome.
I think sometime, how would I feel if someone I loved was murdered, intentionally and with malice.  I have to be honest.  I would probably wish them dead.  An excruciating death.  That would be my first reaction.  But then I would hope to remember "Vengance is mine sayeth the Lord."  I would know deep in my soul that their day of judgement would come.  I don't know that I could ever forgive them.  I just don't think that killing the killer would help me heal.  The person I loved would still be gone. 
There are people in this world who should be locked up for life, never to see the outside of prison walls as long as they live.  They should have very little to look forward to each day.  They should have to live with the memory of what they have done.  But by killing them I don't think we gain anything.  Not spiritually, not financially. 
I pray I never have to find out if I would be able to say these things if I lost a loved one to violence.  I pray for all the family and friends of people who have lost loved ones.  And I thank God for people like Rais Bhuyian who can forgive.  Maybe he can teach us all a lesson.  Lets hope so.
