“Can love and kindness change even a hardcore thief into an ethical man rather than violence and punishment?” Explain.
Answers
Yes. Love and Kindness can change even a hardcore thief into an ethical man because:
Love is an emotion that is better understood in action than in words. But showing love to someone is not an easy task but it takes a lot of courage and investment of time for the benefits of others. Mother Teresa has quoted, "We can do no great things, only small things with great love". Sometime all it takes can be small as giving people like thieves a second chance.
Thieves do not become what they are on their own but it could be their upbringing, family circumstances etc. When a thief is caught for his deeds, it would be better to understand his motives first and then helping him out. Love and kindness would be the best solution to make him live a normal life and leave stealing. This can as a result help him in becoming an ethical man.
