Ok, first, because I started this thread I am Queen of Argh! Part II and hereby decree that we can talk about anything we bloody well want to.
*sticks out tongue* Satisfied? Good.
Taha, I agree with almost everything you said in your most recent post here. I have some past life awareness, and I have a very clear memory of pushing someone off a very high place (murdered him). To my recollection, it seemed the right thing to do at the time, and I felt a deep satisfaction from having done it. Too, that some folks are more than just satisfied but actually enjoy violence can be seen in the wide world of sports as well as among military personnel (why anyone would flame you over that statement is beyond me). I do not doubt it, nor does it shock me just because I don't think that way. Seems to me it all balances out, even the ugly stuff - just as you said (only more eloquently) in your last paragraph.
I do want to offer a difference of experience in the matter of 'enjoyment' and 'fun', however. While yes, as you said in another thread, some folks do enjoy being sick or, as was mentioned here, being violent - or any other number of such things - not everyone who is sick or violent or whatever truly enjoys it. There is a payoff there somewhere, but that doesn't mean it feels good; it just seems like a lesser pain than what's going on at the time. Or the individual does not yet have the awareness to believe that the situation can change. I think it's unrealistic to put everyone who struggles under the 'fun and enjoyment' umbrella.
plur
