I love your attitude, Ocean. If there were more like you around, this planet would be a nicer place.
Your take on the roots of human grievance is contageous. But I simply can not agree.
And this is the key part:
Ask yourself what really led him to treat another human being this way? Surely no person who's had a happy upbringing and good personal life would beat someone up.
This guy's negative actions are the consequences of his negative past. I don't believe for a second he did this to you because he found it amusing and it made him happy.
I assure you, more of them that you can even begin to imagine do it for that very reason.
Most psychologists and sociologists agree that when it comes to standard elements of agreesive social behavior and the frequency and intensity of their public outbursts with clear human objective and an unequivocal intention, constant deprivance equals constant statisfaction with no exception or delay.
To make matters worse, recent findings that I happened to come across indicate that between the subjects that come from functional eviroments (usually wealthy households) and those that come from families with a record of continuous diverse negative influences on all stages of the child's development (usually those from the lower part of the social ladder) there is an equal split.
As someone with a decade-long history of school and street bullying, I am a living example that the findings are correct. As a matter of fact, if you'd ask me to try to remember at least one case of the guy having a disfunctional background, it would take me a while.
Agression is not only triggered by lacks. It is equally if not more caused by the lack of lacks. The plentitude and the abundance of wishes fulfilled and the absence of the concept of the opposite.
Once the goal is set, the destination is the only item on the table. The context within which the process will occur is irrelevant if not none-existent. When it's all done, whatever is left behind is its own fault it got in the way.
This is the way the minds of these people work. There's only the target. Nothing else, in between or after.
I'm not talking about physical molestation. I'm not making any specifics here. I'm not talking only about casino owners bating their way to contentment, even if they're the bulk of the whole. I'm talking about the prevailing view of those that I'm not allowed to hate. The only nature behind the violence, in any shape or form.
I am not ashamed of my hatred towards these people. It has nothing to do with what they've done to me. In all honesty, there aren't even that many I can point to in blame from what I am today. It wasn't that bad. Not when we talk about fists at least.
I hate them because it's not my choice. I hate them because they're the ones who one day got the urge to have more than their neighbor because it just felt nice.
Who and what, at the very end, has made our economic today what it is? I'll tell ya, it's not those on the bottom. And as much as their status isn't the excuse for the destructive actions they possess as well, those actions are not the result of how they had it but the logical consequence of what the modern-day slavery has imposed on them to bare and the byproducts of what they are told be grateful to suffer. And still, it is those very people that will be the unsung heroes that come to your rescue in the moment of need.
Emotions don't care about the moral context. They're there whether we invited them over or not. I don't like having hatred for lunch, but it's not my choice. Lying is, and I choose not to. The only thing worse than my hatred is me lying about it.
I understand them. Understanding is the easiest thing in the world. But comprehension doesn't imply excuse, much less ligitimacy.
Nor does it provoke forgiveness. Not in me at least. Forgiveness is not a decision either. I can tell you I forgive you if it'll make you feel better. But the truth is something different, and that truth, I don't feel.
The results of negative actions are rational acts of free will and therefore can not be open for subseqeunt relativization in the name of supposed harmony among men.
Those people don't understand the definition of humanity. They have absolutely no moral scruple and their only merit of life is the level of their own personal pleasure.
They' don't understand what makes us evolved, and in all honetsy they don't act like we are. They have always been treated as the uncrowned kings of Earth and will always act on their birthright.
Yes, it is easy to understand a tiger or a wolf. But humans evolved the last time I checked.
It's not about fisting out the frustration. It's about not seeing anything wrong with it.
