But the thing is most of us don't because they're not serious thoughts, they're just our brains playing out a scenario and see what would happen. It's like when you stand at the edge of a cliff (or another steep drop) and imagine yourself jumping off. You play out the scenario in your mind, but you never do it, you just do it to instinctively assess the danger. I know the example I just used is believed to be an evolutionary response inherited from common ancestor that we share with other primates, and it is believed that we do it to judge what the most likely result is (which I imagine is quite important when you live in a tree). We don't seriously consider the act, we just consider the likely conclusions so that we can act accordingly. I imagine that playing out the scenario of killing someone in your head is a similar kind of response to this. I wonder if anyone who knows a little more than me could shed some light on it. I'm sure there's a term or something I'm missing here. --- Perhaps the question should be "Have you have any serious thoughts about killing someone?" I should imagine most of us would answer no. I certainly would. |
That actually sounds like a legitimate reason for something like this.
So where do you think the cutoff point for this is, though. Where is the point where you can consider somebody a little insane? Is it if you are able to even get the weapon in your hands...is Snesboy insane? Or is somebody insane only if they are actually able to follow through with the whole entire murder.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
