Since I keep going on and on about how terrible my work is (it still is... long hours, dreadfully never ending work, high stress, crap thrown at you), I've decided to add something nice. Just to end off my "Work is..." series. Haha.
Seriously, sometimes I find that I'm making a difference. But it's a rare feeling... mostly lasts for like 5 minutes. HaHA! I think sometimes I'm doing something good by removing some bad people from society. Other times, I'm doing something good cos I'm fighting for justice for some genuine victims.
One thing that I've learnt though, (Ariel will kill me for this... haha) crime is mostly because of silly people. Some commit crime from pure foolishness. On the other side of the spectrum, foolish people allow crime to be committed upon themselves. So you see, either way is not right.
Anyway, the rewarding part is when I remove those people who commit crime simply because they want to commit crime (i.e. no mitigating factors) and when I help victims who are unfortunate victims of crime (i.e. they did not bring it upon themselves from foolishness).
Another thing, I think MCYS is important, because generally criminals develop due to their upbringing. This reminds me of one of my most favourite movie and a quote from it:
"If you suffer your people to be ill-educated and their manners corrupted from infancy, then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded, Sire, but that you first make thieves and then punish them?" - Ever After
Ok that's all for tonight... so super duper tired, but somehow felt like blogging a bit. Nighty!
