"A Hanging" by George Orwell

In the passage “A Hanging” I found a message. The message that I think the author is giving out to the reader is simply that us, humans, don’t have the right to decide whether or not eliminate a human being. I found this message in an epiphany moment that one of the guard had while taking a prisoner to the gallows. This message makes me think in Capital punishment which I completely oppose to. I believe in God and he is the only one who can decide upon a life. In the passage although the guard had an epiphany moment, he did nothing to save that prisoner.
