The unselfishness of this miscreant named Issac Smith, 30, turned into an ironic nightmare. He will forever be in the custody of the state because he chose to murder his girlfriend.

She had become pregnant with someone else’s baby all while he was with another woman. He decided that he couldn’t have this as he shot Karli Short, 26, while pregnant. Now, it is apparent that he should be punished for the death of the mother but not the unborn child.

But this is all the pieces of the monstrous acts of an unselfish bastard who never thought of himself. If he had any rational self-interest, he would’ve realized that life in prison with no possibility for parole would not serve his life. It would actually destroy it.

That’s what needs to be addressed in all of this. The male figure never thought of the moral and principle ramifications apart from the practical ideals. It is wrong to murder people but hundreds of thousands are murdered every year. That should be obvious. But apparently it is not.

Smith showed how vicious he could possibly be and made up the whole scenario with his worst actions. It is a sacrifice on his part to take the life of Miss Short. He didn’t face reality or take responsibility for the horrific actions he committed.

What he must realize now is that selflessness doesn’t pay. The way he was moving fell in line with the most terrible conditions of any person in his position.

Instead of recognizing that he was a respectable man before all of this, he could have saved a lot of grief. But people like Smith didn’t have enough stamina as a man to face facts.

He couldn’t even relate to himself the reality of his situation. And to top it all off it wasn’t even his baby that was in Karli’s belly.

The envy and weakness of puny Smith only served to be a nasty reminder that he was less of a man. He had no selfishness in his body or especially, his mind. Rather, he relied on his unselfish behavior instead of being rationally self-interested.

For him to fail at every step along the way, he never gave himself the chance to think. Just think. To plan and conspire to dispatch his former love did not set the table for bountiful blessings. In truth, it set up a whole other kind of speech that his defense team couldn’t even muster up enough ideas in his favor.

Life without possibility of parole is a sinking feeling. Why couldn’t he have faced good feelings like career and romantic love? Why did he have to crush his possibilities within the context of his liberty?

Who is the blame for this? The faithful will say it was the Devil. Skeptics will say that it was inevitable for Smith to have been a monster due to his background and his lifestyle. Really, though, it was because of his refusal to engage with reality. He despised truth and acted on the level of an animal on two legs.

By contrast, he should’ve been a model citizen. He should have found a life of work and romance that he shunned. In the vein of a horrible dictator, this bloodthirsty murderer should only see the light of day through plate glass.

As for the family of Miss Short, it is to them that the comforting thoughts of selfishness and egoism should be extended. A daughter had been struck down by her boyfriend. This will always tear a hole in the souls of her loved ones. They will always feel the sting of the idea of losing their beloved Karli. There is no such thing as closure in all of this. What should happen is they should keep in their minds the warmth of her personality and the glow of her spirit.
