Are monsters born or made? Many attempts have been made to discover the answer to this question, but the results are inconclusive at best. The eternal question of nature versus nurture baffles and infuriates us. We want things to fit into neat little boxes so that we can deal with them accordingly. But life is often messy and doesn't have all the answers we seek. How do we measure our potential for good and evil? If some people are born monsters, do they have a choice in what they do? Will they eventually end up manipulating and murdering people due to their nature? Can they fight the inevitable? Is redemption possible for them? What of people who started out normal, but slowly turn into monsters by what they have seen or experienced? Once they have crossed the line, is there no turning back? Do monsters deserve love and forgiveness? These questions have plagued mankind since the beginning of time, yet we are no closer to answers than before, even with all the technological advances at our disposal. How can we tell man and monster apart when all of us have the potential to become one? Is psychopathy a disease which can be cured? Can psychopaths ever lead normal lives and form normal relationships? Why do some people choose to become monsters? Why do they find joy in taking lives? Why is evil allowed to exist in our society? Monsters don't just murder, they hurt and abuse others with their words and their fists. All of us have said and done things to hurt others. Does that make us monsters? Is the line between man and monster a fine one? Or is there no line at all?
P.S. Sorry if my thoughts are too depressing. God bless.
