Absurd

"I'm already as good as dead. My life has been forfeited, somehow. Yes, I've killed somebody and as far as I've read this results in my life being forfeited."
"When I do not come to terms with all of this I couldn't live on. One limits people's possibilities and at the same time one wants people to change for the better. Therein lies the absurdity of prisons."



Here is an interesting discussion about wether evil is male in German. On the one side there is a scholar, on the other somebody who is a prison physician and part-time actor. The practitioner has at least in my view the better arguments.
