In Defense Of Evil

It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me. ~ Batman

In life, it's possible for someone to be be born heavy, it's possible to be born light, some say it's possible to be born gay or even a killer. So if it's true that people can be born these ways, you think that people would be more compassionate on those that are born a certain type. This type for instance, like someone being born a pedophile.

If someone is born a pedophile, this means that they haven't committed a crime against humanity, they haven't done they're detestable practice. The only thing technically, that they have done is that they have evil urges. Urges like in a twisted way, how a heterosexual may feel to the opposite gender or a homosexual to the same sex.

Although not all pedophiles are born, some can be through sexual abuse or other methods, whatever the case, before they committed the crime something could be done. And something can be done, because scientist argue that genes or being born that way may create an environment for a problem to grow. But ultimately the problem is created by a person's actions.

With that in mind, if pedophiles are born or made, either way, they need help. Or something that could make them overcome or at least control themselves. However, society hates pedophile and if someone is struggling they are too scared to talk about the issue.

At the same time, if you had a friend who was struggling or someone you knew who had this problem, wouldn't you have at least a little compassion? Yes, it is they're fault if they do something evil. However, it is not entirely they're fault that they are like that. Life and circumstances have altered them in such a state. Either way, they are humans. What is the point of beating them up? It does not stop them or how they feel. If you have a friend who had any other problem, wouldn't you try and help them?

 All things considered, it's important to realize that before a pedophile does anything, they're not guilty of anything. All they are is an innocent human being who is struggling with a dark, terrible, issue. Yes, it is horrible and we should be rightly shocked. But I think our society has matured up enough to realize that we can deal with these situations. We can no longer afford to plug our ears and yell so we don't have to deal with this distasteful subject. For if we take action today, our children will thank us for protecting them, and the innocents who may succumb to much evil.
