Serious question for all

I understand that people want to feel safe however there is a fine line between true danger and paranoia. Being the way that I am I can speak from years of experience that those who can see the future, read other thoughts, and have empathic tendencies are not perfect. These gifts can be helpful and hurtful at the same time.

All of these gifts are hard to control and many times can not be forced. That is why shielding is so very important for all to learn to do. Not only does a shield protect the person with the gift as they build it around them others with shields help to contain their energies. Trust me hearing another's thoughts can be to much information, seeing what they might do in their life is as well, and having empathic tendencies only allows you to feel their emotions. Therefor if a person is wearing their emotions on their sleeve as most people do it is not an invasion of privacy.

As for the morality of my thoughts, I do not think future crimes should be punished however I believe we can influence people from acting in a antisocial way. Capital punishment is one of them. Those who are convicted of crimes should be punished for them. Execution for those with murder, prison for those with manslaughter and made to work to better the community. Those convicted of rape or child molestation should be castrated or have their vagina sown shut. My list is much longer but I won't bore everyone.

Now back to the movie, it has been awhile for me but from what I remember the difference of opinion leads to Tom's character being arrested for a crime he might commit that he is set up for, so even the best systems have their flaws. In the end there will never be a perfect way to handle the sins of man and the gods need to be in total control of that weather it be through the actions of men, nature, or what happens after death.
