You do not pass judgement,
because you sympathize with them.

1:12:08
A deprived childhood and a homicide
really isn't necessarily a homicide, right?

1:12:15
The only thing you can blame is circumstances.
1:12:17
Rapists and murderers may be the victims,
according to you.

1:12:22
But I, I call them dogs,
1:12:25
and if they're lapping up their own vomit
the only way to stop them is with the lash.

1:12:29
But dogs only obey their own nature.
1:12:31
So why shouldn't we forgive them?
1:12:34
Dogs can be taught many useful things,
1:12:37
but not if we forgive them
every time they obey their own nature.

1:12:53
So I'm arrogant. I'm arrogant
because I forgive them?

1:12:58
My God..
1:13:00
Can't you see how condescending
you are when you say that?

1:13:04
You have this preconceived notion
that nobody, listne, that nobody can't possibly attain

1:13:12
the same high ethical standards as you,
so you exonorate them.

1:13:16
I can not think of anything
more arrogant than that.

1:13:21
You, my child... my dear child
you forgive others with excuses

1:13:27
that you would never in the world
permit for yourself.

1:13:30
Why shouldn't I be merciful?
Why?

1:13:33
No no no.. You should be merciful,
when there is time to be merciful.

1:13:38
But you must maintain your own standard.
You owe them that. You owe them that.

1:13:44
The penalty you deserve for your transgressions,
they deserve for their transgressions.

1:13:50
They are human beings.
1:13:51
No no no.. Does every human being
need to be accountable for their action?

1:13:56
Of course they do.
But you don't even give them that chance.

1:13:58
All that is extremely arrogant.
