Chapter 1852 The so-called humane eight
Temple of rocks.
In fact, there are many times when good people and bad people are not able to define them in a simple way...
Because many times, there is a causal relationship!
In the modern judicial system, we often only look at behavior but not too much causal relationship, which leads to the problem of too light sentencing or too heavy sentencing in many judicial cases...
Let me give you a simple example...
It is also a crime, killing people because of their own greed and being forced to resist murder because of oppression, on the legal level, but the former is considered a true crime in the perception of most people, while the latter is nothing more than being forced to do so...
Although this kind of helplessness is not the kind of situation where you are forced to kill someone by a knife on your neck, in fact, it is often more helpless than the kind of knife on your neck!
Just like in reality, many people who are forced to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Do they really want to die? In the final analysis, they are just under too much pressure and can only die. That's all...
Most people who kill people because of greed will think that they deserve it. On the contrary, if it is a criminal act that is forced to do anything, as long as there is a logically absolute causal relationship, it is often an act that can be forgiven and even a behavior that will lead to sympathy...
This is actually a simple causal relationship!
On the legal level, the causal relationship in criminal events is often not within the scope of the law. It is because of this that all direct murders are defined as a crime. As for those acts with indirect huge and bad effects, they are often difficult to be convicted, or they are difficult to be convicted in a nature that conforms to the real harm of the offender...
Let me give you a simple example...
A fraud criminal cheated the elderly’s money, and then the elderly committed suicide because they were cheated. From a legal perspective, the fraudster only committed the crime of fraud. As for the elderly’s suicide, it may have a certain causal relationship with the fraud. However, even if this causal relationship is established, it only makes the nature of the fraudster’s crime worse. However, there is no way out, and it is impossible to allow the fraudster to obtain the crime equivalent to murder...
However, from the perspective of causality, if other elderly people’s suicide factors are excluded, then this fraud is essentially no different from intentional homicide!
Yes, there is no difference!
Just like a case where loan sharks are forced to die, it actually needs to be considered in different situations...
If the person who jumps off the building borrows money for his own reasons and clearly knows the high interest rate of his own borrowing, then he must be responsible for his actions. No matter what means the usury uses to force him, as long as it does not involve criminal acts, then he will eventually jump off the building, which will be his own fault...
Whether he borrows money to gamble or does other things, as long as he doesn't pay the money in the end, it's his own problem...
From the perspective of causality, this is what is called self-inflicted sins...
On the contrary, if the borrower itself is cheated by some traps or is cheated by the lender, then the nature of the case is completely different. If the borrower who jumps off the building and commits suicide, he will eventually choose to commit suicide. From the perspective of causality, he is not fully responsible. Although he still bears a relatively heavy responsibility in this process, there is no doubt that fraud groups and usury groups that set up traps to commit fraud must also bear certain responsibility for his death...
After all, many things in this world actually have potential causal relationships!
The order of law makes law enforcement officers rarely care about these potential causal relationships, but simply convicts from superficial behaviors. Such convictions naturally easily lead to a situation where the crime harm itself is not matched with the final sentencing of the crime...
In many cases, the sentencing will also be problematic of being too light or too severe!
To give a simple example, many people should have watched many Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series when they were young, many of which should also involve courts and trials, especially the subjects related to justice. The verbal confrontation in courts is often one of the highlights...
And among them, the verdicts of many cases are actually very incredible...
In many cases, when the suspect was arrested, he had confessed his crime, believing that he had killed the victim. Then the protagonist's lawyer took action to find out the suspicion bit by bit, and finally overturned the murder case, acquitted the suspect and gained freedom...
The plot looks very powerful, but from a judicial perspective, it is undoubtedly very unreasonable...
The rough plot is like this. The victim is the suspect's father. Because he abused his wife and children since childhood, his wife and children dared not resist the victim. Finally one day, the son could not bear the father's humiliation, so he angrily hit his father on the head with a bat. Seeing his father lying on the ground and stopped moving, the son thought his father was dead, so he ran away with his mother, but was eventually caught...
There is no doubt that this is a motivated and put into practical action...
And what is the problem that the lawyer finally found?
The lawyer finally proved that the suspect did not kill the victim at that time, and the reason why the victim died was because when he got up, he accidentally stepped on a skateboard, fell down again, and hit his head on the floor and killed him...
Finally, through authoritative proof, this view was proved to be correct, so the suspect was released...
Actually, this is a very nonsense...
After all, the reason why the victim died and the suspect's attack behavior that was enough to kill was absolutely causal. Although the victim did not die at that time, he was already tranced and unstable due to a severe blow to the head. Under such a premise, the victim would step on the skateboard and throw himself to death. In other words, the victim's death and the suspect's attack have an absolute causal relationship!
Without other external factors, the suspect's behavior is essentially a murderous act. Although the reason for the murder can be said to be understandable, and although the final death is the direct cause of the attack itself, in the end, there is still a direct causal relationship...
This means that the judgment of a thing is different from the legal and humanitarian level!
On the legal level, as long as one person's death and another person's death is not a causal relationship in an absolute sense, the person's crime will be greatly reduced and may even be acquitted...
But on the humanistic level, as long as there is even a slight relationship, you must bear this cause and effect!
The so-called "I don't kill Boren," Boren died because of me. That's the reason!
What is contained in this is such a concept of causality at the humane level...
Right and wrong at the legal level are two completely different concepts!
Back to the perspective of revenge...
The act of revenge is a very legitimate act in the human order, an act that can be fully understood or even fully recognized...
Even, sometimes, some revenge is often considered noble...
Just like the plot of prince revenge in many Western stories, it is often recognized by the vast majority of people that it is a just act...
But on the legal level, most revenge is illegal...
Taking the Tianlong Ba Tribe as an example, from a legal perspective, all martial arts masters are essentially just murderers...
However, even among a group of murderers, there are always so-called righteous and demonic ways...
The so-called right way is not to not kill people, but their behavior is subject to certain principles, or they naturally abide by the order of some kind camps. Even if it is a revenge, they will not hurt those who are completely innocent. Such revenge is often an admirable act...
In fact, in most martial arts novels, revenge is an eternal theme!
The difference is that the moral level of decent characters in revenge is always sincerely admired, while the so-called revenge of those villains is often extremely disgusting!
For example, it is also revenge, Xiao Yuanshan’s revenge and Ye Erniang’s revenge are completely different concepts!
Many times, the essence of humanity is actually a behavioral pattern and norm that conforms to the cognition of most people...
If the vast majority of people can agree with a standard, then in a sense, this standard is the so-called humanitarian order!
Of course, the humanitarian order is not impossible to be changed or even reversed, but it is actually very difficult to change the humanitarian order. There must be a strong enough person to implement a certain system in order to truly fundamentally change the concepts of most people...
And the vast majority of people, when they are in society, can only go with the flow...
The mainstream values in society will always affect the vast majority of ordinary people, causing them to gradually form similar values in society...
Just like people's views on celebrities, in the past, people called this type of people an actor, which was considered the lowest profession and belonged to the category of the lowest class. However, in the eyes of modern people, actors are a profession with a certain social status and social influence. Except for the older generation, few young people despise those actors or big stars, and there are even a large number of brainless fans who are willing to do everything they can to chase stars...
After all, the transformation from actors to stars is actually a reflection of the progress of civilization. The so-called 360 professions and the top scorers are produced in every profession. This is the reason!
The higher the civilization of a world develops, the more it can tolerate more outstanding figures from all walks of life and field, and shine its own light...
The higher the development of material civilization, the greater the demand for spiritual civilization, and the more people pay attention to spiritual satisfaction...
This is also an inevitable result of the development of civilization!
