Would you ever shoot a man just to watch him die?

well i think humans are curious. why else when there is a house fire or car wreck do people slow down to watch? destruction fascinates us. empathy is a developmental stage that we become able to do around 5ish or so. when we become able to see other people's points of view and understand that what we do has affects on other people. some people missed this stage or are mentally incapable of it such as sociopaths and psychopaths. people also like to see perceived justice being served. they wanted to see them being punished and of course the curiosity and parade like atmosphere of such hangings and beheading. about the current horror movies i think that is more about being able to feel the rush of adrenaline that fear gives you without actually being in danger. similar to roller coasters. along with that fascination with destruction i was talking about. there is always a bit of beauty in ripping something apart. in those situations you see the core of a person and who they truly are. it takes all the masks away and gives a good look at the real person that you wouldn't ever see in any other situation.
