Admissions (After life)

I understand your concerns. I too had concerns for that very reason. I felt that I made the right decision and what he did with the opportunity was his decision. Again, if he made parole say after 7 years in prison do you really think he would have come out repentant or more hardened? I sat in the courtroom for several weeks for the first trial and came to realize that these men ( really still boys ) grew up in the projects, no father, slept several kids to a bed and never really had the chance to climb out of those surroundings. They probably didn't value another person's life the same way that we do. The street smart thing to do was to shoot me because I was the only witness.
I did check on him for several months and it seemed that he was affected by my actions and appeared to be trying to change his life with the second chance that was given him.
My decision, I feel was the correct one. What he did with the opportunity was up to him. Do you not give change to a panhandler because they might buy drugs? Or do you give them change so that they might eat? The correct intention is to help. Whether or not they abuse your generosity is their decision.

I think you did the right thing. You gave somebody a chance, showing what mercy or empathy for another human being is. That´s what we all should do... put action into our believe system and try to help others.

The OP video isn't really about a decision in a mythical 'after life', it more about working out the mental process in life.

Decisions are made in life, not 'after' it.

Dear Joeecho, indeed sir but consequences have a responsibility attached to them and culpability is not ignored by our souls/higher selves and they are the ones who make the decisions ultimately (the difference between who "they" are and ourselves is a gap most difficult to bridge sometimes.
