Re: confession time

[dreemyweird]

I've never really understood the point of hatred or even intense dislike. I hate nobody, although I've met pretty awful people during my lifetime. If somebody's mean or outright evil, I usually take it the way I would take a natural disaster, like a tornado or a tsunami. One doesn't hate a tsunami.

I guess it has something to do with me not understanding what the heck morality is. Like, I don't know why anyone'd be angry at somebody else for not having the same moral values (even to the point of killing people or doing other nasty things). Want them to go away, to die, to suffer? Yes. Being angry at them? ...? ...? but they are incapable of understanding your point of view precisely because they lack these moral values you have...? no comprendo.

On the other hand, when I was twelve, I wanted to go back in time and murder Joseph Stalin by ripping his throat out with my teeth.

I actually think about this all the time. Getting pissed-off at someone for having different values from you because you have... Different... Values... From... Them? It's so recursive!

Not to mention that it comes with the expectation that everyone should come over to The Right Side, which is your side, natch. Except that doesn't work, because everyone else is thinking the same thing.

So, yeah, I kind of try to stay away from having "values" or ideology of any kind, beyond "don't be a shithead."

The OP of thread was asking about murderous intentions, not hatred, I think.

Re: confession time

[dreemyweird]

IMO, it's ambiguous. They might have been asking about this weird feeling of angst in the existentialist sense of the word (what if I walk up to that random guy and stab them with this knife?..), or they might have been asking about murderous intentions based on hatred/other strong feelings. For me, non-angst murderous intentions must be based on hatred, a state of mind which I rarely (if ever) reach.

honestly I think that if you hate no one, then you are either Tom Hiddleston and made of sunshine, or you have never actually been personally victimized by someone to the point where you would naturally hate them. Or you're a sociopath, which is probably what you're hoping people will say?

Re: confession time

Everything about this comment nonplusses me.

I had a mother who physically and emotionally abused me, which, I guess, qualifies. And I did not love or like her; nor would I have chosen to live with her had I had a chance to choose. But I never hated her, because she was obviously perfectly incapable of understanding that she did me bad. To me, hatred makes no sense, because to hate someone for not having the same moral values as you do is like hating a tree for growing where it does. Yeah, sure I want to remove the tree, but what the heck, it does not have an ability to perceive that it should not inconvenience you by its growth.

As to the other alternative, I just. Cannot. Why ever would I want anyone to call me a sociopath? Do I sound like a fourteen-year-old Sherlock fangirl? I think it is a bit obvious even from my original comment that I have a clear idea of what is good and what is evil, and that I have feelings inherent to human beings.
