Last week I went to a Rose Cafe where we got the opportunity to speak with Judge Miller. One interesting comment that he made is that nobody is born evil. This is something that we all know, but find hard to apply. For example, when you hear about someone murdering or hurting another person, that concept is not necessarily the first thought that pops into your head. Instead, we think that the criminal has to be a terrible person. One reason for that is that we have to believe, for our own mental wellbeing, that only an evil person could commit such a horrible crime.  The thought that a regular person could do something so awful is pretty terrifying because it makes the world seem random and unpredictable. But if we could move past our mental blocks, maybe we could find a way to reduce these tragedies. For example, maybe we could support more programs to mentor at-risk youth. I know that a lot of these programs already exist, but we could certainly expand them.
