[QUOTE="Xeridanus, post: 127822, member: 5963"] There is a theory, that i agree with, that tries to explain the Idocies of humanity. it goes like this. When we stepped out of the trees for the last time, all the processing power in our brains used for catching branches as we swung through the air suddenly became useless. This intelligence was then used against other humans. Just think what would happen if everyone you knew had the power to kill you in your sleep, simply cos they had a bad day. one would have to have his wits about him. this, amung other reasons, only served to make us smarter. at a certain stage our brains became so powerful that we realised, deep down on an instinctual level, that we WILL die. this caused a huge conflict in our heads, never before had this conclusion been reached in nature. if all our instincts were designed to keep us alive, then why were we going to die anyway? this is the conflict inside most (if not all) humans today. to try and console this conflict, lessen it's ferocious tear on our minds (left and right hemishperes acting on their own accord), some people invented an afterlife and made it a part of their religion. others turned to sex as a means, after all in nature, the survival of ones own genes is just as important if not more than the survival of the induvidual. the rest try to ignore the realisation of mortality. those that turn to sex as a means aren't always bad guys. JFK had a very impressive sex life, orgies and what not. and he was one of the most calm and collected persons on teh planet. do you think hitler was getting enough in the sack? it seems that ability to lead other people well is directly proprtional to how satisfied their sexual drives are. im getting side-tracked... I know this topic was more about feelings and emotion (or at least i think it was before my post) but i think understanding is the best cure. i do not mean to be blunt or detached from my emotions, i can be quite emotional whenever i see something representing the lowest form of human behaviour on the news. im also no stranger to having close friends who have been "abused". in grade 10 i think (4-5 years ago now) i had feelings for a female friend, and she said to me (i can't remember what we were talking about before to get onto this subject) that her uncle had raped her. i asked when, she said when she was a little girl. she wasn't exactly very comfortable about it either, even though it happened more than 12ish years earlier. so, you see. i know that sexual abuse ruins lives. they have to carry that burden for the rest of their entire life. my dad would have no second thoughts killing someone he knew to be a child molester, even if that person was me or my brother. i'd like to think im the same. Shit happens, arseholes cause it. [/QUOTE]
