i've been watching Mars, a taiwanese drama. there's this crazy psycho killer who said this, "happiness is a scam and one's happiness is always at the expense of other ppl's." i thought abt this, and agree with him. when u're happy about something, there always is someone out there who wld be displeased. and if u're unhappy about something, there'll be someone who is happy because of ur unhappiness. just something simple like, say homework. u're happy with not doing them, but ur teacher wld be very displeased. so would ur parents be. one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. this cliche is about the same as what the psycho killer in the drama said. the psycho killer, name Tongdao, killed people for his own satisfaction. reason being that in everyday life, someone is always hurt because of someone's else satisfaction, however minor. he also reasoned that most people have hurt someone before in order to gain what we wished. thus killing people whom he hated goes down to this simple theory.
he said something else that i agree with, but no one could put to practise here on earth. he said that humans are animals and we do have animal instincts. animals usually prey on competitors, wiping them out. that's partially how natural selection n evolution occurs also, based on the survival of the fittest theory. hence, modern-day law abt universal love and peace is actually suppressing human's animal instincts and making humans be what they arent suppose to be. i thought that this is pretty true. however, humans are not animals w/o conscience. we are higher-order animals. we have morals. this is the part which i dont agree with. but again, this Tongdao really an animal, literally. no morals. just kill whoever displeases him and stands in his way. psycho!
