“Mere Psychopathy” | Clarissa's Blog
Somehow it seems to some people less shameful to be attacked by a psychopath, because then they are a mere victim of fate. To be attacked by a terrorist means they let their guard down, which is to say they are culpable in a way. This same dichotomy in reasoning that I have perceived must be why more and more of life is relegated to the category of being an uncontrollable force of nature and less and less is related to the individual and their capabilities. At the same time, it is this common, dichotomised perspective itself that produces the ridiculous either-or possibilities. Reality is nuanced.
