In fact, if there is one unpardonable crime, it is bad parenting. You are not even killing someone; you are disfiguring someone and sentencing him to live an entire life. How does that sound? It is like chopping off somebody’s limbs but ensuring that he lives—and he lives an entire life without limbs.
In fact, it is probably possible to live an entire life without these physical limbs, but it is far worse living an entire life with a distorted mind. And the parents, and to some extent the society and the education, very badly distort the minds of young people.
