Quote:One might be born with damaged legs to understand what the cost to someone else was who at one point you ran over and crushed the legs of, for instance. The idea is to learn why the initiatory action is "off the path" by experiencing the fruits of it, and not just the action of having done it.So how does this apply to people who don't know the difference between right and wrong? For example terrorists or intellectually disabled or children? In case of terrorists, they are under the influence of some bad teachings and hence they kill people hoping that it is the right thing to do and it will send them to heaven. But they didn't know the truth.
What if a child/intellectually disabled kills someone? He doesn't know that it's wrong to kill someone(like he got his dad's gun and started playing with it and accidentally killed someone)?
And what if some adult (who knows whats right and wrong) hurts someone by mistake? Like I am driving a car and a child/dog jumps right in front of my car and dies because I wasn't able to stop the car in time?
This gets into discussion of topics far and away from what the original thread is about, and really should be in the religion thread.
I think perhaps it would be more useful to point you to the work of Dr. Newton. Read his books and you'll understand a great deal more about this than I can reasonably explain here.
