If you kill someone, you're punished because your safety can still be a threat to someone else. But you're not the one who's being punished. It's your loved ones.<br><br>You go to jail, they lose their income. Your children lose their father and your mother loses her husband.<br><br>In the worst case scenario, they can get imprisoned too. They'll just be sent to poverty.<br><br>This isn't just about killing. It's about the law. If you break the law, the people you love are the ones who are being punished. <br><br>Why is that? Why are your loved ones punished? Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? Why is that?<br><br>I'll tell you. Because love exists. And love is selfish.<br><br>We love ourselves. We love ourselves because we're selfish. We want to feel happy and we want our loved ones to be happy too. This is why we punish each other, because we love each other.<br><br>You love your loved ones, so you're punished. You punish yourself because you love yourself.<br><br>There is no other explanation. And that's why the only true morality is self preservation.
