Just as intelligence and complexity are different, the same goes for wisdom and kindness. It’s wise to be kind, but not give too much kindness to those who inflict pain and create trauma on their victims. Kindness must be balanced. It’s both, kind and wise to have the forethought to protect those who have done no wrong – thus kindness to the perpetrators of violence must be tempered. They should receive care as good as the society can best afford, but not the freedom to hurt again. Should they be proven cured then the balance shifts and kindness would lead the society to welcome them back. None of this invokes the idea of forgiveness, to this equation it is irrelevant. We can forgive and still require protection, and to provide such protection is wise.
