No human being is raised to commit egregious acts against other human beings, e.g.,
abuse children, women, old
ladies or helpless individuals!
Likewise, no human being is raised to
murder children, women, his or her parents — or become a
serial killer or
rapist!
Yet, individuals prone to commit such atrocities exist! Why?
To begin with, human beings are "
choicelessly conceived"! They do not create themselves
— nor do they
choose their parents!
In addition, human beings do not choose their
inherited, atavistic and
unpredictable genetic traits that define
them as unique individuals
identically different from every other — and determine their existence.
The following is a brief list of human
inherited genetic traits:
- race and gender
- time and place of birth
- choice of environment during formative years
- mannerisms, pride, character, honesty, vices
- level of intelligence, talents
- application of intelligence, personal interests
- health, physical and mental attributes
- emotions, temperament, behavior, addictions
- empathy, prejudices, inhospitability, amicability
- reactions to perceived experiences
- worldview, countless other traits
Moreover, though
genetic traits control human beings' reactions to their
perceived experiences, other
factors also play a role in their reactions:
- age and maturity
- temporal, unexpected situations such as:
a. mental or physical conditions
b. perceived danger
c. location, bystanders present
d. pleasant or unpleasant encounter
e. epidemic, natural disaster or accident
f. loss of loved one
Further, driven by their
genetic destiny,
hampered by extraneous controls
or not,
regardless of motives or consequences, whether
beneficial or injurious to themselves and/or others,
it is not rare for individuals to indulge in
unexpected,
impromptu or
planned acts.
Generally, unless individuals happen to find themselves
in the throes of extraneous forces —
e.g., incarceration, depression, epidemic, natural disaster, warfare, etc. — and are free
to act as they please, they are inclined to engage in behavior that will satiate their desires, whether innocous
or prejudicial.
Even after having professed the "immutability" of their long-lived beliefs or principles, without
compunction, shame or pride, some individuals have no difficulty "changing sides" — when to
their own benefit!
Additionally, fully aware of the lethallity of their addictions, controlled by their
genetic destiny, countless chain
smokers, alcoholics and drug addicts
will not quit their self-destroying habits.
They cannot help it!
In essence, the unpredictable,
genetic destiny of human beings can only be described as an amalgam of traits that
challenges accurate predictions of their character,
behavioral capacities or their furtive intensions.
To be sure, accurately predicting why, when, where or how human beings will react to, or commit, any sort
of act or attrocity can only be understood as
conjectural, i.e.,
a guess!
As it relates to human beings, if controlling their behavior is the object, irrespective of age, personal or
familial reputation, social station, wealth or proclivity to engage in
undesirable or
egregious
behavior,
WORDS are no match for their
genetic destiny!
Scrutinizing our own
traits and behavior, as well as the
knowable traits and behavior of
our parents, siblings and friends should render the foregoing statements inarguable.
Conclusion
Understanding that, the
Power Hungry and
The Others will always exist and, like any
other human being, will always be controlled by their unpredictable, inherited,
Genetic Destiny.
Understanding that, by themselves, without the support of other self-serving individuals, the
Power Hungry
cannot achieve their irrational, destructive ends.
Understanding that, defeating the
Power Hungry requires convincing
The Others
of the fact that, voting for the
Power Hungry is tantamount to
voting against themselves.
Understanding that, words alone
WILL NOT convince
The Others to support our platform
unless it favors their own interests! Nonpartisan, unbiased, plans and strategies that acknowledge and
assuage their fears, rational or not,
WILL!
