The Darkness Within Us All
What separates a serial killer from an ordinary citizen? According to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Robert Simon, the answer is disturbingly thin. His groundbreaking work reveals that the darkest human behaviors are extreme expressions of impulses we all harbor. The comfortable notion that "bad people" are fundamentally different from "good people" is a dangerous fiction. This denial fuels prejudice, discrimination, and even genocide by destroying empathy. Throughout history, from ancient myths to modern literature, we've been confronted with our darker nature. We're simultaneously frightened and fascinated by this darkness-millions consume violent media, with the average American viewing 250,000 acts of violence on television by age 18. Who hasn't wished, in moments of frustration, to eliminate rivals or obstacles with impunity? The difference between "bad" and "good" people isn't kind but degree-and crucially, the ability to translate dark impulses into actions. Even the Dalai Lama acknowledges experiencing sexual and violent impulses in his dreams. Our antisocial tendencies emerge opportunistically-consider the looting after natural disasters or the prevalence of tax fraud. This isn't the work of inherently evil people but of "normal" individuals whose behavior changes under certain circumstances. We must recognize that we all contain both good and bad, like a complex rope of intertwining psychological strands. Rather than projecting violence onto "them," we must acknowledge our own demons and learn to control them.
