RE: With Us or Against Us - The Ultimatum of Your Enemy
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
My emotions are not under the authority or control of anyone but me, and they are separate from my actions. How can my actions be considered the responsibility of someone else? My pity does not prevent me from acting, and if it does prevent me from anything it is inhumanity in my treatment of others.
Nothing murderous bastards could use against me.

My pity does not prevent me from acting,
Yes it does. You have to process the emotion. (The time it takes - is milliseconds to weeks).
Too late. (depending on the circumstances).
and if it does prevent me from anything it is inhumanity in my treatment of others.
That's the fundamental difference w have - you see psychopaths as human - a fatal flaw (literally) of understanding what they are.
Nothing murderous bastards could use against me.
No need to worry about that (anything being used against you), you'll already be dead. (depending on circumstances).
Have you ever known a full blown psycho?.
(my commiserations if you have)
This has nothing to do with whether or not I treat things, people or other things, humanely. I do not treat them humanely because they are people. I treat the most predatory creature I know, the household chicken, humanely - because I, not chickens, am humane.
It is perhaps this fundamental misunderstanding that prevents our agreement. Being humane to chickens does not prevent my killing them for my dinner. I kill them without hesitation, despite that I kill them without hatred.
I do not kill them out of hatred for them, or because they aren't kind to grasshoppers.
Neither do I approach psychopaths and their necessary treatment with hatred, although I surely do hate their cruelty. I do not become cruel to them because of their cruelty. They do not determine my treatment of them.
I do. I am not cruel. I am humane. Should psychopaths need killing and I be called upon to do it, I will do it, but I will not do so relishing the task, nor increasing their suffering out of hatred and cruelty - not because they are not cruel, but because I am not cruel.
Whether they are human or not, I am.
We are pretty much in agreement then!
Maybe we're misinterpreting each other a little.
It is good.
