Mercy. The reptilian brain trumps the limbic system today, doesn't it?
Can you put yourself in the father's place for a moment? You have
been told that unless you give your wife twice as much money as
you earn in income, you are going to jail. And if you manage to sell
everything have and accomplish that Sisyphean task a time or two,
if you are unable to keep it up permanently, you are going to
be locked up in the company of killers and criminals. If you
kill yourself, the state is in no way to blame? Man, talk
about blaming the victim.
Wrong. I am not blaming him for the actions of his ex-wife and the courts. I am blaming him for pulling the trigger and forever robbing his children of any chance of having a father, even if it is a few years later that that is accomplished. Big difference.
