The death penalty. I think humans revolve everything around our survival. We don’t care about plants or animals surviving, we just care about us humans surviving. So if you aid my survival, you are “good”. But if you are a threat or a burden to my survival, you are “evil” and either will be abandoned, locked up, sent to be fixed, or killed if one refuses to budge to the way most convenient to society at large.
I’ll be honest. As the selfish, egotistical human that I am... as the human being that is controlled by seeking the pleasure of MY five senses I too would permanently want to get rid of, of someone who causes pain to me or others... I realize my selfishness in that too though, my self-preservation. It’s like I don’t care about how the person causing danger grew up... either you are convenient or no one gives a fuck. The cold hard reality of a conditional life may be the anger that fuels the most cruel of acts on earth. We didn’t choose to exist, we didn’t choose our body, the world, or what it contains... we are just told... ADAPT or die! Be submissive and convenient or perish! And people ARE hurt, and humans are destructive creatures that need to be tamed. It’s no wonder that the places where people aren’t taught etiquette, they’d laugh at the idea of “empathy” or they’d ask, “What the hell is that? Haha!” Each is for their own. It’s hard to grasp this truth, but we must digest it slowly to avoid a greater setback in the future from false expectations.
