A "Fantasy to Kill People"

But in order to act upon their fantasies, they have to fantasize about some thing. Who would even think ahead of time about killing some one? One surely knows right from wrong, whether it's fantasy or not. Thanks for responding!

There are people out there who do have what we would call, "twisted and wrong" fantasies, but perhaps to them they seem to be normal? Not everyone can distinguish between what is normal and what is not within dreams and fantasies, because quite honestly... you cannot control your dreams, nor can you control what you find appealing about certain things... like I can't control the fact that I enjoy fantasizing about having a really nice house with my current partner. The same goes for them, people will fantasize about whatever makes them feel good, and if it happens to be killing people then they become what society coins as twisted, psychopathic, etc. Your reaction to this, in my opinion, seems like you are completely appalled at the notion that people actually fantasize over these types of things, but perhaps it might be good to consider that within human beings there is not only behavioural morals, but there are also rebellious rampages, and we don't always want to go along with the norm of society... people are naturally dark... Have you ever studied Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)? He wrote The Matter, Forme, and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil - which is commonly referred to as the Leviathan... and in it he talks about the structure of society, legitimate government and the social contract theory. The social contract theory is the important part - for it argues that there must be a social contract between people and we must be governed by an absolute sovereign otherwise life would be "nasty, brutish and short" (Hobbes, Leviathan). Basically he states that if it weren't for civilization and a governing sovereign then every human being would live a nasty, brutal life filled with only the need and greed of pure survival, because in the essence of human beings we are nothing but animals who need to keep ourselves alive and this is our natural state - to be within perpetual war. Now the reason I bring this up is because if our natural state is to be in a life that is brutal, all about survival, and filled with the state of war - then of course people are going to fantasize about killing others and surviving or getting away with it. This is the natural state of humans, what makes us civilized is the fact that we can tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong in today's world. Maybe before a governing body, killing others was not a crime, but rather seen as survival (and I am talking like way back before there was any semblance of civilization at all)... you have to think about where we come from, where we used to be, before laws, before we became dainty, civilized folk of the modern era. We all started out as brutes, and we all have a little bit of that in us. It just so happens that some people act on it. This is appalling ONLY because in our world today, we view it as wrong. And no, I am not saying it is okay by any means, I am just stating some philosophy.

Hi ! This was very horrible way of life that they got to kill to survive . They are like Barbarians . It could never be right for it is very wrong to kill a human being . We are in stage where we know what is right and wrong , and we are lucky because we wake up being mold with all the right and just things.

Agree with Jenny , this man might have unresolved conflicts in his childhood which was not addressed. I believed any unresolved conflict we have would really comes out in our later life.
