Trial and punishment.


The difficulty of defining what is objectively good or evil does not prevent a social organization establish their rules of social behavior. What is needed is to keep in mind that these rules are set by people, as a result of social conditioning and which are temporary, because what is sentenced today can be accepted tomorrow, and so too the opposite. These rules were content and questioned.

Be aware of the relativity of good and evil is very useful for us to avoid taking on the role of judges, eager to apply punishments. Even because the punishment can be the easy way for someone to be not really punished. It is very common for people who have acted to harm others when socially punished, feel liberated from the burden of guilt, because they have already completed their sentences. Not for any other reason that is evolving in order to punish someone, forcing to do something to correct the social harm caused, not just apply a temporal and unproductive shame we did not redeem anything, but, on the contrary, is still more onerous.
