V.  We have all the right reasons to live. May it be a criminal, a priest or just an ordinary person? Criminals, especially murderers have been tortured and killed multiple times. They have committed a hideous crime, it doesn't mean that we have to hurt them or kill them also. According to Mahatma Gandhi, “an eye for an eye turns the world blind”. We are all familiar with this quotation; if someone hits me then I would hit them too. If we use this system all the time then there won’t be a need for us to implement laws for we are already following our own conscience, it doesn't matter if we are right or wrong. In this world, nobody is perfect which means we all have our own flaws and mistakes. The best way to make up to the people whom we have hurt or may have hurt us, we need first to accept our faults and forgive our own selves. If we are still being a hard headed person then we wouldn't have our own inner peace again. We should also forgive others, do not hold any grudges and let God decides the punishment for them. Death penalty is not a solution to end crimes and for the other problems of our society. Death Penalty should be completely abolished in our society owing to the fact that it doesn’t decrease crime rates, costs a lot of money and puts innocent lives at risk.
