And, in some rare cases, you find the mental fortitude to embrace your inner psychopath and bend the world to your will. You find a way to cast aside morality, while at the same time convincing the rest of the world that you haven't. You do, or do not find happiness by doing this, but you know that you would have never been happy by not trying.

- Aetius 16y agoTo the (I assume) idealist that downvoted me; can you provide your rationale? The above is an actual response of rare people facing a moral dilemma. I did not mean to encourage anyone to do this, I was merely providing an antithesis to the parent.
- endtime 16y ago>I did not mean to encourage anyone to do this "embrace your moral fortitude" is a pretty positive way of putting something you claim not to advocate.
- dejb 16y agoAny world view that doesn't account for what you describe is certainly lacking. Edit: Actually I read the whole article and it does seem to get a bit weird and certainly seems somewhat less than a completely scholarly work.
