What I found most disturbing there is the pattern of a fragile and weak person being abused and returning all that abuse into others that are weaker than him.
It reminds me an Israeli writer (Amos Oz, if I remember correctly) saying that many times the mind of the opressed is an mirrored inverted version of the mind of opressor.
- api 11y agoThanks for that reference. This is also very close to the true non-westernized definition of karma: evil is essentially a virus that spreads from perpetrator/teacher to victim/student. If the victim does not consciously decide to stop the disease, they go on to reenact it in the perpetrator role. Karma isn't a penalty for evil but a description of the cycle and how it is perpetuated; there is no penalty except continued eternal entrapment in the cycle.
