Fascination with the dark side of human nature is prevalent in our society. It might be because, although we don't understand how someone can torture somebody, or kidnap and abuse for a decade, knowing that they are one of us, humans, makes you wonder what inexplicable cruelties we as a race are capable of. We all have that evil gene hidden and hopefully suppressed, yet I find it scary and often wondering what triggers such behavior? Although I am not too keen to admit it, I do believe some people are evil personified, and that is the only way to explain their behavior. Maybe it gives us the opportunity to be morally indignant, to be the superior human being. It is the only way to justify our obsession with gossip magazines, and how eager we are to judge and look down on the very people we admire and in some ways envy.
I have to say that the depths of human behavior, the layers, our intricate and complex emotions have always fascinated me. The deeper you go, the more intriguing it gets. The mysteries inside our own minds are as vast and complicated as this universe we live in. Our conscious, subconscious, our dreams our nightmares all are shades of our personalities, although we might actively just embrace the conscious as being our reality.
So for now, I will keep on riding on moral superiority,wondering and abhorring the evils of the society, feeling smug and confident in my own goodness. A good way to start the day indeed. Good morning!
