in the news....
a friend and i were out for a drive today talking about important things. he got quiet for a minute and then said 'i know i can say this to you because you'll understand - that guy in the news? the one who killed the other guy on the bus? i understand him completely. i might not be at his stage yet, but i sympathise with him. i'd never convict him if i were on his jury. i've wanted to kill a whole lot of people lately.'
he told me because i feel pretty much the same way, but when he told another person we both know, that guy got creeped out and made some annoying comment about mental health professionals.

I'd agree with that. Although randomly killing strangers on a bus isn't cool
well......there are times that i see your point. then again, 99% of humans are worthless dung, so the random part isn't really a problem. and, we don't know if this was truly random - maybe the dead guy was slamming his seat back on the guy's knees. maybe he smelled like cheap cologne. maybe he played bad disco on his mp3 player loudly enough to annoy the people around him. maybe he voted conservative.
we just don't have all the facts. so, it's more likely that he deserved it.

the worthless thing is relative to other people.and I'd be bloody annoyed if someone decapitated me on a bus just out of the blue.
Although I can understand the overwhelming desire to do it sometimes.

it wouldn't be you as the victim, you're a good person.it would be someone who is nasty and makes people want to behead them.

aye there's the rubother people may not measure me as a good person, but as a person they wish to behead.
I think this will generalise, such that: for every person, Bob, there probably exists another person who values Bob as good, and another person that wishes to chop Bob's head off.

of course, i do understand that.but i still get in these moods a lot, when some ignorant simpleton breaks 48 rules of the standard social contract and then becomes loud and rude when gently told that s/he is being a problem. these are the people who i suspect are being beheaded, not the ones who are just mild pains in the ass.

i always carry a knife.a few years ago i was stopped by the cops and they asked if i had any weapons. "just a knife," i said. they asked why and i told them i'd carried a jacknife every day since i was a little kid. i don't think they got it, but a swiss army knife is tough to kill people.
thankfully i'm a determined person.

Nothing peaks people's hind-brain responses like being in a confined space on a dangerous machine with noisy smelly strangers.On a purely biological level it can be understood as a survival instinct. But you'd have to be seriously negleted and isolated as a person to get as far as that guy.

I've never been quite sure who's fault it is for being socially isolated.I'm fairly social isolated, by comparison a social 'norm'. Is it my fault for not really instantly liking people? Is it other people's fault for ignoring me?

It might have something to do with the lack of signs at the edge of that abyss.In both cases there. I'm sure you've noted this too, as shown in your framing pic.
