"For that to be so: to what is every person relevant?" ~Alice

They are relevant to me. Even if the majority of them are nameless, faceless strangers. I still see them. Their pain still matters to me. My life would be easier if it didn't, but It does. Their are way too many people in this world to be worried about the pain and heartache of all of them. Luckily most of it is pain I can only speculate on, but I try not to get too caught up thinking on it. It's a good way to ruin a month or two at once. Anyways, maybe I'm just crazy but people are relevant to me. All of them.

You'll likely accomplish more for all of them by not personalizing any of them what lie beyond your proximity. It is out of your control, and you can only interact with your limited sphere of existence... as having a greater impact would require intentionally hurting a few people along the way.

For all that pain hurts... it gives me a market

If you follow the link in the original post the woman claims the man she killed tried to rape her. Attempted rape is not rape.

Perhaps. She may also be saving face, protecting her virgin status. Not sure how it'll help her get out of murder, but perhaps it will be an adequate self-defense claim.

Alternately, if the woman is the property of another, then perhaps it is lawful termination of a trespasser.

So many fun options; so little interest in actually looking into it
