My point in saying that men are evil was a generalization not towards a specific gender, but towards the idea that as long as negative aspects such as paranoia, jealousy and evil exist a collective mentality will be difficult to attain. We can't change the way certain people think, but we can prosecute them for their wrongdoings or at least try. In no way is evil excusable, but the same goes for in no way is evil avoidable. We can offer the idea of kindness, we can try to instill it, but ultimately the id exists. Some may be able to control their id and minimize it, while others will focus and expand on it. Can we control that?
A mother had two sons. She raised each with the same care and upbringing. She also taught them unconditional love, respect, spirituality and kindness. However, one of the brothers raped and murdered women. Why did he turn out this way? An idea similar to what you call collective mentality was instilled into him, yet he deviated away from it and condemned himself to a life evil. What happened? If your quest is to find a key, you need to explore all neighborhoods, you can't skip the slums and expect to find it. You need to analyze everything from all angles, even the hard ones. A math problem can't be half-solved. On May 4, 10:35 pm, Slip Disc <[email protected]> wrote: > I can't help but remain focused on the introduction. Rosey declared > that "men" are evil?
