This does not mean “never get angry” since there are many things in this life which ought to anger us. Even Jesus was angry with the money changers at the temple. God is frequently angry with his people in the Hebrew Bible. It is the cause of our anger which is a problem, but also what we do with that anger once it rises. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says his disciples will deal with anger differently than the rest of the world. They will seek reconciliation rather than revenge. More importantly they will deal with the internal causes of anger before lashing out at people. West Heart Kill is an interesting take on a murder mystery that will either engage or enrage the reader. Maybe both. It’s different in that the book breaks the fourth wall, speaking directly to the reader, mentioning how a murder mystery should go, elaborating the expected rules of engagement, so to speak. I will admit to both enjoying it while also occasionally feeling that the author was trying just a wee bit too hard to come across as smarter than the reader. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that a writer’s ego was showing as much as here.

In the United States, 666,160 people were killed between 1960 and 1996. [134] Approximately 90% of murders in the US are committed by males. [135] Between 1976 and 2005, 23.5% of all murder victims and 64.8% of victims murdered by intimate partners were female. [136] For women in the US, homicide is the leading cause of death in the workplace. [137] So, where did I come down on it? I was amused more often than I was chagrined. It would have been a solid four stars until I got to the very end, which felt like a head fake. As with most legal terms, the precise definition of murder varies between jurisdictions and is usually codified in some form of legislation. Even when the legal distinction between murder and manslaughter is clear, it is not unknown for a jury to find a murder defendant guilty of the lesser offense. The jury might sympathize with the defendant (e.g. in a crime of passion, or in the case of a bullied victim who kills their tormentor), and the jury may wish to protect the defendant from a sentence of life imprisonment or execution.

The old man, with whom the narrator lives, has a clouded, pale, blue " vulture-like" eye, which distresses and manipulates the narrator so much that they plot to murder the old man, despite also insisting that the narrator loves the old man and has never felt wronged by him. The narrator is insistent that this careful precision in committing the murder proves that they cannot possibly be insane. For seven nights, the narrator opens the door of the old man's room to shine a sliver of light onto the "evil eye." However, the old man's vulture-eye is always closed, making it impossible to "do the work," thus making the narrator go further into distress. Simply stated, the sixth of the Ten Commandments forbids the unjustified taking of a human life. However, the commandment itself has a couple of interesting elements that bear mentioning. First and foremost, different Bible translations give the appearance of different meanings, and there is potential for misunderstanding the actual meaning of the verse. Second, man was never created for the act of murdering another, and there needs to be an explanation for such a violent and final act towards another human being. Third, because of the translational challenge, we need to understand the difference between “murder” and “killing.” And last but not least, how does God view murder? To God, murder is not just physical in nature but also the condition of one’s heart towards another. Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: Suicide does not constitute murder in most societies.
