This afternoon my wife and I watched the sequel of Kingsman: the golden circle. Aside from the violence scene, there is an argument that is interesting. The villain poison the drugs like cocaine, heroine, so that they will die if they do not receive the anti-dote. There the president and one of the secret agent have a view that it is fine to let go millions of lives of those people as they are the one choosing to do something that is not good - taking drugs. The reason is two-fold. One is as punishment so that there will be less people wanting to try drugs. The particular secret agent called Whiskey has another reason. His wife was killed by someone who was under influence of drugs. So he thinks that the world would become more peaceful if all those who are involved with drugs are gone.
That reminds me with a Japanese drama where the main protagonist hold view that although criminal is wrong, it is important to try their best not to kill them, regardless of the criminal level that they did. It is a reminder that life is precious. Hate the sin but not the sinners. This is especially as we are also sinner. Each of us is most probably addicted to something. It may not be drugs, it can be money, power, popularity, or relationship. And because of those addiction, we may harm other people. So remember that it is not our place to pose judgment. It is only for God Himself. And remember how great our God’s love that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for us, so that we can be freed from our addictions.
