Would you feel anger or pity when your in the court room, having to watch as a good defense attorney works the room? When the moment finally arrives and that not guilty verdict is announced, what happens to your humanism then?
Yes. Both. My humanism remains in tact. I don't live my life to exact revenge and I have a different idea of justice than my country's legal system. I feel empathy for everyone. It's not a choice I make, I don't think. It feels pretty involuntary.
I call it "Being a wonderful person with a beautifully compassionate mind".
