Why punish? Indeed, why? Human justice - legal, lawful justice, has nothing to do with Justice at all, and is nothing but the visitation of revenge on the wrong

Why punish? Indeed, why? Human justice - legal, lawful justice, has nothing to do with Justice at all, and is nothing but the visitation of revenge on the wrongdoer. I would hate to punish anyone because it would coarsen me to supervise somebody's pain. On the other hand, no punishment ever helped me to become a better person. The only thing that ever helped me in any case was love. I say "Abolish punishment" It only harms both its new victim and ourselves.
