Gabbers doesn't mean to be snide Francis, though we are all aware of the phrase crocodile tears. I would rather the tears in a serial killer's eye were due to a sensibly applied red-hot poker than another evil attempt to manipulate another victim - this time one he or she can only work on mentally. I still care what my ex feels, though there was and is nothing I can do about it. Her madness would have brought us both down, and she was actively lying to try and get me in trouble. My compassion stretches a long way and I had tried very hard to stay on out of some sense of decency to protect her. It was a waste of time. I left her what I had and note there would have been no proportionality for me in the legal system as a man anyway. I use the term evil a lot - I believe human resource management is an evil - an Undead. Some people are daft enough to think I think personnel managers are vampires, but sadly, stakes through the heart don't work - though they might if I could get at all of them together at one time and prevent personnel departments ever springing up again (Townsend's solution in 'Up The Organisation'). I take Gabby as in gadfly mode - pinging those spots we can become too holy to see in ourselves. I note though, that we traditionally show great tolerance towards those about to invade Czechoslovakia (oops - it's gone!) before slapping them down.
Orn finds something spiritual is seems in introspection. I tend to find squalor and remembered trauma - I note that some like this is around in society in utterly crap Soho-type spots and pornography and that I am not instantly repelled by at least some of this. I suspect we have more concrete examples of the presence of evil than we generally accept and do little to try and understand this. Crass censorship is no good and smacks of Freudian 'hiding stuff under the carpet leading to the return of desire through the unconscious' type drivel. A better concept of evil might help us in this kind of area. In the end, my guess is that paedophile, rape and other scumbag sexual behaviour could be "justified" through the notion we are really just vessels for our seed - as we get older or if we are generally pathetic then we will try to herd up the weaker females less attractive to the alphas and so on, through tactics other than those we cannot or can no longer compete in. I do wonder whether this kind of impasse is reason for morality and concepts like good and evil. I have yet to meet a decent, 'accidental' sexual offender, though have seen the tears of many and even managed to arrest a few within hours of the 'I'll never do it again' promise - though we should remember here that some decent enough guys are set up by gold-diggers. In London, it pays as a senior (target-paid) police officer to record rapes as 'other crime' - hence we had a black cab driver going round raping over 200 women for many years. I see 'evil' in the public tears of a whole range of bureaucrats who prevent us from getting decent services and are always so compassionate after the disaster. The ultimate evil to a Proddy was Catholic confession and absolution. To prevent evil, one takes responsibility.
