I'm going to have to agree with Angel, "ugly and scruffy, stupid and mischievous people you see on a daily basis" sounds a lot more like "that kid in high school" than "cold-blooded serial killer". In fact, none of those traits are really inherently evil to me. I see what you're saying now, but don't patronize someone for misunderstanding your poor wording.
Allright. My choice of words and my phrasing might not have been the best. My apologies for the poor wording, to you and to Angel.
I really thought the first sentence made the question clear. Which is: Whether there is at least one person - the kid in high school, the cold blooded serial killer, me, Charles Manson or Adolf Hitler - who doesn't/didn't deserve love.
It's an interesting question, really, and a difficult one. Assuming that by "love" you mean some kind of compassion or understanding, then I'd probably argue that yes, everyone is deserving of that. The idea that we should kill killers on the grounds that killing is bad has always been a bizarre idea to me. What would separate the executioner from the murderer? Without judgment, society would crumble, but so too without compassion.
Is it normal that in my opinion some people don't deserve love?
