One part of me holds vehemently that all human beings are of equal value.
This is the guy concerned with the principles of a just legal system.
Another part of me wishes there could be extra-creative punishments for depriving the world of its best minds.
This is the part that values people differently, and therefore has a different desire for punishment/retribution depending on the victim.
I have the same parts. We have conflicting motivations and goals. Nothing that mysterious. I hope the first part wins out to the extent that you’re forming your opinions on law, and we don’t have to argue about the importance of equality before the law.
