A Man's Vendetta
Uploaded by venderak on Apr 27, 2001
What’s stopping us from killing one another in spite or anger?
Do we fear the law, or do we fear the punishment?
The Law is a deterrent but let us question this, we do not harm others because we fear being punished and not because we know that we do not bear any right to do so. Sounds nebulous?
I wouldn’t kill someone I hate more because of the punishment I will face than the fact that I will grieve his family. Lucid?
Which is why, in the land of the Free where people have been numbed to the long arm of judiciary that such vindictive killings and shootings have occurred.
It is a terrible thought this, that Singapore is a safe country because the society has welded an iron whip on our lesser selves. As the world integrates and such binds weaken, what may result in future is something to genuinely fear for.
Put together the fact that the human is arcane and vacillates to his fancy, do you sleep safe at night?
It is a strong polemic that secular influences are far graver in determining the “villainity” of an individual. Even so, a strict upbringing is hardly a fortifying insurance. It is then questionable whether this individual refrains from doing something wrong because he knows that it is or that he will be convicted and melted suitable punishment!
For if it were the later, this individual is simply a walking time bomb. Imagine the day when he realizes that his locks and chains do not cuff anyone but himself that he breaks them open, what happens then.
Which brings us then to those who suffer from psychological disorders. It is unshakeable that we do not understand how we work. Do not question this unless you can control your behavior like the ranger who draws his revolver slick from his holster. How does one come about to have a manic depressive disorder? Or even a rage control problem? Ruling out those that are hereditary and taking into account that psychiatrists are raking in an impressive clientele, what remains?
The pressure of society to perform and to conform or otherwise be swept is too stifling for many. We are free spirits, how can we live caged like a pet. Yet we are wholly accountable for this society we create. Silly we are, humans in our own shell.
We are definitely not in control; we can’t control the weather, how we want...
