it is what it is (fact)

Ever noticed how we reduce the seriousness of a situation by labelling it. Everytime you hear of a crime of passion we speak things like "temporary insanity" or "manslaughter" which by definition means that a person did not intend to kill the other person and therefore since there was no motive then a person is off the hook with that technicality. For temporary insanity I dare not mention a word because I belive we've all been through a situation where we had to justify ourselves though we realise things that we're being accused of are not only true but evidently wrong . Imagine how we felt when we spectated the trial of O J Simpson, we set there and we judged him, then when he was aquitted we judged the jury and then the system. Understanding fully that we could not have done anything we have to wonder why he wasnt convicted. We are outside a situation that is why we feel so much power and rationality is it justified? Still on crime of passion, think about the time you learnt a lie is a lie or sin is sin does not matter how small it is it is still sin and punishable at the judges' discretion. Marietta Bosch is another "crime of passion story but this one ends in her "just" capital punishment. This just goes to show although some people feel like crime of passion is somewhat better than murdering someone in cold blood it goes a long way. In the years between 2002 and 2007 Botswana had a huge amount of these crimes but the style or pattern was more on the murder suicide.

While we'd like for people who commit crimes in the heat of the moment to be able to review their actions and repent we wonder why we should while the victim will never get that chance. This debate has been going on forever. While capital punishment is a sure deterent it also deemed as an inhumane act and like someone once said "a state sanctioned murder" which of course I personally believe its "aiite". Being in a situation is more than knowing about a situation. With that in mind let us try to understand both Mr Simpson and Ms Bosch's motives. Bosch's was always deemed selfish and back-stabbing and Simpson's was just brutal and worse the way he spoke about it made it ever so hard for people to emphathise. I still do not get why we label things such as murder call it "crime of passion" rape call it "defilement" and an inability to look at molestation for what it really is, ABUSE.!! Whether is by spoken word or the actual touching. And there is of course Pedophilia which is meant to be a psycological issue, where is the root of this type behaviour.

We justify because we want to be credited for discoveries we dont want to see things for what they really are because the reality is that we have allowed for sin and evil to dwell in us just because we do it we clean up its name and make it fancy, embesselment is stealing why cant we just say it like that?why do we need a fancy incomprehensable name for it?call that person a thief, murderer,rapist or sickening if that it how you feel because it is what deters unsual unnatural behaviour say it like it is....afterall it is what it is aint it?
