[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 2759419, member: 4319"] We all have the capacity to do f*cked up ****. How many of us have ever had the urge to just haul off and beat the crap out of someone? Dumbass uncle at Thanksgiving, rude guy in line at the bank, guy who cut you off in traffic? Who among us hasn't felt real, burning anger? Ever been in a heated fight with a girlfriend or wife and had a flash of a violent thought you'd never act on? Ever been cheated on and felt anger over that? What the fawk kind of primal, socially-fueled emotion is that? Lotta people been killed over affairs in the last 100 years in America. People touching other people in a way we invented contracts to prohibit. Results in murder. A lot more people have taken a step back, thought about things for a minute, let that emotion cool off and gotten on with their lives without violence. We all have violent thoughts and urges and we all feel insecure. If you don't, you're a liar or an alien. You have two choices when a f*cked up thought comes into your head: own it, think about it, acknowledge that it is likely a result of something like your own personal insecurities. Evolve. Move on. Grow. Be a better person. Become more comfortable with your insecurities and stop being as defensive. Change what you don't like about yourself. Embarrassment be damned. Or you stoke it. You stoke that fire. Outcast? Downtrodden? Poor? Ugly? Social skills lacking? Assign that unsettling feeling to something that in no way caused it. Black people, maybe. Find other people who have done the same. Find powerful groups and organizations and intellectuals who have written books about the subject. South Africa, Rhodesia, 3rd Reich. Feel a part of something. Convince yourself that people that you probably have little to no interaction with have ruined your life, your country, your peers. That's why you don't fit in. You never had a chance. They ruined it for you. Take back what's yours. Feel your new found power. Become deluded with it. Murder. Crazy? No. Sad, disgusting, and reprehensible? Yup. But sad is our milieu. Our brains are supercars and most of us can't handle them. Into the wall we go. [/QUOTE]
