I tend to think that most people have empathy, Some are taught to ignore it through different techniques to either make the monster they need, or by accident.
Hmm. Any sense here? So what is it that makes one go out and say.. "I want to cause real destruction",, Not a blind rage burst, but in a long thought out unfeeling and callous way.
Think of ppl that have really hard jobs. Prison guards, policemen, combat infantry, investment strategists/bankers/investors, sometimes within their jobs, they are required to hurt ppl. They may be a total pacifists(in their norm world), but sometimes a job can dictate that a person go "against his/her moral compass". This can give rise to inner conflict, in sometimes ppl cannot live with things they know they have done, in their compromising of morals. Some ppl are able to justify it. It is not easy to live, when you are divided within yourself.
The ones that plot, plan, and think out a way to bring destruction? That's a tough one...... My mind has difficulty just trying to go there.
I could only assume, it may be for reward or attention. Coupled with improper thought processes....... Total lack of love(positive perception) for their object of (negative)attention. A disconnect in cause and effect, how their actions will have consequences.
This makes a lot of sense! Along those lines,, pressure is being applied, now more than ever! Are some people more susceptible( or sensitive) to the change in oscillation than others? Why does it seem the occurrences are growing? Will they be multiplying in the future?
When the pressure is on, some ppl just having better coping mechanisms than others. They have usually practiced techniques, and trained themselves to not resort to impulse and emotion. It's kind of like learning patience, it usually doesn't just happen overnight, it is a process of living and learning(or training ones' self).
I believe these things occur, as an externalized problem of mans' internal chaos. Both individually and collectively.
Will these things multiply? If man does not learn to conquer and control his inner world, it will be difficult to conquer and control his outer world.
We have many books and studies on understanding the fundamentals of the mind, learning how to operate your brains, and all kinds of tips, tricks, and techniques to master our thoughts and actions. The sad part is, few care to know these things, which give long term pleasure and security, because it does not trip our 'automatic gratification" triggers.
It's boring, no NOW reward in it. We crave the endorphins and dopamine of what boosts our adrenaline NOW, with no thought of tomorrow, or how we are conditioning ourselves, to be adrenaline junkies.
Like someone that cuts themselves. They may not be thinking of the long term scars and implications of what they are doing. They are feeding off the momentary rush of brain chemicals. Just like someone that seeks death defying dangerous sports/hobbies, they are trying to feed off the chemicals it creates, and the feelings those chemicals cause. (could be the same with drug use).
(you may want crispin to show up soon, before I mess us all up!) LOL!
