No, my father was a psychopath and I have no desire for revenge or violence.
@cherokeepatti Bless u! Sometimes things trigger certain ppl to do awful things! You're one of the lucky ones!

@Shewolfiie69 I would hope someone would take me out of this world if I ever got mean, seriously mean that.
@cherokeepatti We all have the capacity of being murderously mean!!! I sometimes have awful thoughts but I shove them away because I realize that it's of a lower frequency and most negative!!!

@Shewolfiie69 Not saying that I am above having mean thoughts, it's just that I don't believe in revenge or hurting people so why act on them. I try to do something positive as a sort of a way of working out my anger if something is really bothering me....redirect my energy.
@cherokeepatti You are a rarity in this world! I wish there were more ppl like yourself! I hear you..I believe that many ppl don't know how to redirect their anger and go for that instant gratification without thinking of the consequences!!!

@Shewolfiie69 I believe part of the problem these days has to do with people being medicated with medications or illegal drugs that blunt the conscious. There is recent research to back this up, even seemingly innocuous painkillers such as Tylenol and Advil can do it, doesn't need to be a anti-depressant drug.
@cherokeepatti I wonder if there's a male genetic disposition. How many mass murderers are women? Does one disprove the theory?

@penguinswon I've read this morning he was taking Valium and that class of drugs has been linked with aggression so that could very well be a factor.
@cherokeepatti I hear u! There are those that do in fact have a chemical imbalance and need to take SSRI's... The trouble is with our upbringing and societies! When there's less nurturing and guidance, it becomes the Wild West!!! Lol!

@Shewolfiie69 I agree environment has something to do with many cases of it, stress levels are higher for workers these days because of productivity goals and many other factors. But some of those chemical imbalances may be linked to diet, certain diets can increase levels of neurotransmitters and balance them, that's only one example.
@cherokeepatti thx for ur response! You are very intelligent! I can respect that!!!
