    “Evil” is a social construct for people in the dark ages, because it holds as much merit as believing in fairies.

    Again, you are really in denial of human nature, and as such don’t know that the conditions I mentioned set the stage for this kind of thing to happen.

    Do you know that you can be corrupted, that you can commit murder, if the conditions are right?

        In a situation where she is incurable ill and suffering and asks me to kill her.

          This man’s wife specifically asked him not to, because he also tried to kill her last year. I was expecting to have more sympathy for the man, but then I read the story. His kid brought him in to confess, which is an unbelievable position to put your kid in.

          I do understand putting someone out of their misery, and I’m not unempathetic towards the grinding horror that is capitalism, but this is an awful thing for other reasons as well.
