“Evil Inclinations”

I do not believe that Humans are evil, no stop right there i am not championing moral relativism, Though I am ethnically Greek I am not a sophist of the Greek meaning of the word.

Judaism teaches that humans have a two part to a soul, One that follows the deity, performing good deeds, the other is an impulse to destroy, violate and more basic animal impulses… I have taken this as a part of my world view as I explore the nature of what it means to be a human.

I do not believe that people are evil per-say. However I do believe in the social contract, as well as a Hobbes-ian view point on government. People are beasts (sometimes) they need laws in order to protect the good of the populace, despite the fact it may mean giving up some freedoms.

Violate the social contract and have the consequences be it losing freedom or losing ones life into order to protect the populace.

I attended a funeral, I felt a mix of melancholy alongside a healthy does of rage.

My grandfather had passed, what people will tell you is he was a genius with an IQ of around 160, he was an entrepreneur, he was a drinker.

But what most people will not tell you is that he was a beast that prey was that of children.

I see people speaking fondly of him and I want to scream to the top of my lungs, he was not a good man he was a “thing cloaked in the skin of a human”

I will quote him, “the only thing a pedophile deserves is a $1 bullet through the head.” He died in his sleep, as they say justice of the poetic sort existence only in the microcosm of poetry.

I inherited his Genius IQ form my mother which she inherited from him.

They say Genius have an ability to process large amounts of information to learn quicker then the average individual, however it is wrong to assume that higher IQ gives a better ability to be rational.

What is rational of inflicting damage to helpless children?

A friend brought up that perhaps the more intelligent one is the most destructive they will be? I disagree my mother has never laid a hand on anyone except in self defense.

I have a distrust of men when they are alone with individuals of which I care about. Oh boy if I could only count the amount of individuals I threatened in private, away from prying eyes, then smile once company returns.

This may be my own evil inclination though I explain it through mere pragmatism.

I have a problem of upper class Caucasian individuals who campaign relativism, this is a place of privilege locked away in towers, free to judge, free form harm. Theses who suffer, those who have experienced individuals with evil actions know how to be more empathetic to suffering.

I still believe despite the data I have gathered through my life that people are good at the core, I believed in rationalism that is our capacity to reach truth, or facts. Just because there are a few lunatics doesn’t mean one should become a misanthropist. It takes strength to not sub come to hatred and nihilism.
