is very sad, and I have no idea why it has to be this way. Do you suppose it has something to do with survival? You know, its in the genes for man to claim his territory, or to be the aggressor and not be overtaken. I don't know, it's crazy. When I hear about what some people do, like killing their whole family because the wife left him, I simply cannot understand what possesses people to do the things they do. It makes you wonder about demon possession, but then that gives the devil too much credit. People have a choice and that's a fact. Also, there are so many other dynamics, like what happened to people when they were growing up, as children. Maybe they didn't get any love from their parents, so they have no idea how to have an emotional relationship. It gets complicated.
