I read these stories FROM THE SAME DAY in the Daily News and shuddered...

It made me wonder: Were people always this evil, or are borderline people snapping? It seems so brutal. At least in the Dark Ages when they tortured you, they had a whole system of belief that supported it somehow. But these people are ...well, for lack of a better word, evil. But just what IS evil?
Is it some red guy in a fiery place that whispers in your ear and makes you do bad things? Or is it the simple brutal truth..some people, some seemingly normal, nice, funny charismatic people could just as easily turn on you in a brutal vicious spiteful way. Or look the other way when some more evil fuck is torturing someone. One can only imagine finding another evil one to do shit like tie up a kid, beat the shit out of him, cut him, burn him and letting him die OVER A SINGLE DOLLAR. That these people could engage in a simple affair or relationship and rather than leave indignantly when it goes sour, they kill them. That was the only option for them...you have to die. You can't be with anyone else, so you must die violently. To be so evil that you get sentenced to jail and giggle. Are you crazy? Insane? Retarded? or did you just snap and decide "Ok..I know I'm going to get caught, I know I'll go to jail and maybe even get put to death, but you cannot be allowed to live. To kill another is about the worst karmic thing you can do. If you killed someone indirectly or without specific malice, or even by accident, you have guilt over it because you meant no harm. But some DO mean harm. Some LOVE harm. Some need harm. These are not raving lunatics who talk to themselves. These are people you think you knew. When they hear that they've done something that extreme, they can't understand it. It's such a shock that they would kill in such a cruel way.
What came over them? Remember my ex-friend with the drugged-out boyfriend I lived with (see "Chicks are losing their shit"? Satanism, and drugs and boredom. Her father was getting sicker and she insisted on bringing this kid to the hospital. She even got mad and decided that she was "stepping off on the family" cause they wouldn't accept this person who was so selfish and fucked up that his being fawned over was more important than a very sick father who wanted to see his daughter. So she stepped off. And two weeks later he was dead. Those precious moments of closure that she could have had if she left this jerk behind to deal with, instead was spent losing a lot of weight, her job, her family, her sanity, and her independence. And she doesn't care. She obviously doesn't care. If she did, and had the strength to see through this illusion, she would have ran far away. But instead, if he goes down, so does she. On the Satan tip, remember the charm she made for him?. It was a lock of her hair woven into wire with tiny handcuff clasps. Black candles with $100 bills under them. She put that energy out there and now she's paying for it. People who knew her well are in agreement: She's not the same person. She's the shell of that person. She was always thin, but now she's gaunt. Bones. Her phone, in the 8 years I've know her, rarely got cut off. Was when someone tried to get a hold of her recently, tho. They tried to go to her job to get in touch and they were like "We love her, but she might have to get fired cause she hasn't been showing up." A complete 180 degree flip.
I'd like to think I was spiritually evolved enough to not reduce things to good and evil. There are blurred areas, especially in the realm of politics and religion. But there is something happening to people that is making them do horrific things. We have war overseas, and people here killing in heinous ways. That can't be good, can it?
