The elephant in the room.

[Adonai One]

Does a serial killer deserve to be loved? Does an extreme torturer, abuser and cannibal deserve to be loved? Does the remorseless pedophile deserve to be loved? Can they be genuinely loved? Can these actions be loved?

I ask the tough questions, I know. I wonder about these things. At times, I find myself in tears for these forsaken people, for those who are nearly absolutely condemned by society. These questions have had a grave importance to me for whatever reason. I cannot handle the thought of something or someone being truly condemned even though I believe we all know that's impossible.

I want this to be discussed. I want this to be out in the open. I want to see how far the concept of love can be pushed here.

What do you mean by "deserve"? Do you mean some kind of merit?

Hmm, deserve isn't the proper word. To put it objectively, are their desires acceptable and cherished macrocosmically by "The Creator"? Would it be proper for an individual to love these people, their desires and their actions? Does the LOO entail this?

Ok, now what do you mean by love. If you mean acceptance, than, yes I can't see how that would never be proper because that would always afford the most possible opportunity.

Love is acceptance, indeed. But isn't it more? Isn't there a joy that comes with it? An appreciation? A sense of value?
