Laws of order vs moral thought I would agree, pray for your enemies. This takes demonstrates the value of life. Who knows the most terrible may turn and live and let live. However, that's not the end all; we do have laws of moral order.So, a suspected murderer is caught, brought to trial,evidence presented if conclusive beyond any doubt they are to be executed; as the Torah says to remove evil from you. He gave us Torah to govern the earth; it should be followed.Mistakes, corruption-solve it without removing the law.

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been struggling with! This article is very min haShamayim because it came at exactly the right time for me. I have been struggling with this exact issue. I also tend to be very hard on myself, which causes me to be less understanding of others who seem to feel that they have a right to hurt others as long as it fulfills their ego needs, or even enjoy hurting others. Yet I've been feeling very guilty because I know that such resentment is like denying that Hashem runs the world, that these unpleasant experiences are from Him – for our benefit. It's a painful paradox to live in. But I think I will try your advice because that seems attainable. Thank you very much.
