1] ARE THERE ACTIONS YOU CONSIDER UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF CONTEXT? IF SO, PLEASE PROVIDE EXAMPLES

2] ARE THERE SOME MITIGATING CONTEXTS THAT RENDER OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE ACTIONS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? IF SO, PLEASE PROVIDE EXAMPLES

3] IF A PERSON HAS PERFORMED AN UNACCEPTABLE ACTION, WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER AN APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT?

THANKS! 8)

HMM. I STILL DON'T THINK I GET IT. COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW DO THOSE TWO THINGS CORRELATE?

I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT WRITING BUT I WOULD FIGURE SOMEONE WHO HAD SEEN SOMEONE DIE THEMSELVES WOULD HAVE BETTER EXPERIENCE TO WRITE ABOUT SOMEBODY DYING.

Seeing someone die is one thing. Taking a person's life is another thing. Similarly, there's a difference between writing about life and writing about death—one must have observed life to properly write about it. Murderers do the very opposite of observing life.

I GUESS I JUST DON'T SEE HOW KILLING SOMEONE MEANS YOU CAN'T ALSO OBSERVE LIFE.
