During my call with Kat, we discussed a mutual friend who returned to prison. Although we want to help people and prevent them from returning to prison, it's up to the individual. As a society we should understand that people will not agree with us and our way of life nor will they share the same motivations.

In this podcast episode I delve into the profound concept of valuing human life. I start by discussing the intrinsic worth that every individual possesses, regardless of their achievements, background, or circumstances. I explore different philosophical perspectives, ethical considerations, and cultural viewpoints on the value of life.

Throughout the episode, I provide thought-provoking insights, challenging listeners to ponder their own perspectives on the value they assign to human life. I also address the importance of empathy, compassion, and understanding in recognizing and appreciating the inherent value of every individual.

By the end of the podcast, my aim is to leave listeners with a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the concept of the value of life and inspire them to reflect on the ways in which they can contribute to a society that embraces and nurtures the inherent worth of all people, fostering a culture of respect, inclusivity, and dignity. https://youtube.com/shorts/Ahh6r69OSyw?feature=share

The real source of crime is the person. We can prevent future crimes and reduce the prison population if we thrive to understand what motivated a person to commit a crime. We can work to prevent repetition.

Incarcerated people have varied reasons for committing a crime. We need to focus on the motivator and help encourage people to share their experiences with the venerable people sitting on the fence. Communication can prevent crime.

Human interaction has really taken a hit these days. We need to increase face-to-face communication and rely less on social media for our daily interactions. Personal contact is a terrific way to improve trust and grow community relationships.

Incarcerated people were motivated to commit a crime and it led them to lock up. If this drive is manipulated to serve the community and their success, people can be motivated to use their talents for good and be better equipped to fight the urge to commit crimes.

When a person is sent to prison, the taxpayers are responsible for funding proper care. Incarcerated people are more than warehouse occupants, they need resources to keep them from returning to prison. And sometimes the methods are expensive.
