If that's how things are handled in the sort of world you came from, then so be it - I have my own thoughts on how things like that should be done, of course, but if that sort of binding arrangement exists between action and punishment where you're from, then it really isn't up for debate, I think. Whoever's wronging you is doing it with knowledge that punishment will be exacted in that way, and they're choosing to do it anyway; those in the wrong really can't complain when there are consequences for their actions, that's just common sense.
I came from somewhere with some pretty messed up rules in place, and I've done things I'm not proud of as a result, because those rules were absolute. I'm not going to say that I don't deserve to be held accountable for what I did, because my reason for doing it doesn't change the fact that I did it at all, and what I did affected people; I'm not going to say that I deserve to have someone care about me, either, because that's not really my place to decide. But the fact is that people do, even if I don't know the reason why.
I don't know if saying everyone deserves to have someone care about them is exactly right; it's just that it's not really anyone's place to say that people don't deserve that, if that makes sense?
