Do You Feel Compassion Towards Criminals?

Indeed a very high standard to live upto! As a mere mortal, we can just pray to the divine energy in the criminal as - Hey Waheguru, this face of yours is suffocating me... killing me... begging to receive limitless love from you, so that nothing can disturb us

:wah:
 
I just want to add something because i think so much has been said in so few words it just doesnt seem right (even though it is...catch my drift?)

One of my favourite adaptations, originally by Bertrand Russell:

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].

Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine.

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.

I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.

This has been my life; I found it worth living.
