A curious, hypothetical question to put forwards to people here after reading something.

If someone you know commits crimes up to the point of murder, how far should the punishment go before they can consider it enough? Would it ever be enough?

Alternatively while I have this thing open; all the coffee tastes the same. Is there truly a difference between the different kinds the stores are offering?

[ Look, it's hard work being stuck in a bathtub as a mermaid sometimes, okay?]

[ Welp.

This sure is a dark topic, isn't it? ]

Back at home, sentences would be carried out based on variety of factors regarding murder. Like the degree of viciousness, the motive, how it was carried out and how many people were killed, things like that. Personally, I'm not all that fond of the death penalty because it wouldn't give the person a chance to make up for their sins.

And 'would it ever be enough' varies from person to person, too. Like if it were someone I was close to my personal criteria would lean towards trying to understand why they did it first and foremost and then go from there.

Also regarding coffee: there are differences depending on how it's brewed and also if you're drinking it black or with sugar or additional milk, etc. If everything does taste the same to you, then maybe that's a tastebud thing?

That sounds like a fair system, though what would said system think if the criminal died through their actions? Does it still consider a punishment, or would that be it?

If you knew the "why" would it change your reactions or simply change the other's outcome? Forgive the many questions, I have a lot of time on my hands at present.

I see. Perhaps the coffee I have tried is simply not up to par. Milk and sugar next time.

That's a difficult question to answer. Regarding 'if the criminal is dead', sometimes the law would deem that the criminal's actions fall onto the family of said criminal. But here's a little complicated.

I don't have personal experience with it, so I can't exactly speak much on the matter, but I've heard of Moonblessed coming back to life after dying once, along with people who were dead back in their worlds being alive here. Of course, even then, it doesn't excuse a single thing.

Don't worry about the questions, though; if I didn't want to answer them, I would say outright. But yeah, if I knew the reasoning behind a person's actions it would definitely change how I view things or even change how I would deal with them.

Yeah, milk and sugar definitely matter. Along with the type of beans, too.
