Comment on Is it weird that I have to resort the idea of "Determinism" to be able to move on?

  Explanation is not excuse. It doesn’t matter wether they did a bad thing because they wanted to or their genes compelled them do. The outcome is still the same.

  However, that doesn’t make it a bad idea. Accepting the fact that we live in a deterministic universe entirely dismantles the foundation from emotions like hate and replaces it with compassion. I don’t like every person I meet but I don’t hate anyone nor I blame anyone for what they are - they didn’t have a say in it.
