I suppose we should talk about the Shadow Selves..which represents the repressed darker side and urges of human nature. Jordan Peterson has several lectures which should be illuminating for you about that.
Suffice it to say i understand my Shadow and have intergrated it into the conscious self. Which means it would be very easy to take you out to the deep end and leave you there. If the need be i would do it. Here in lies the ethical and moral dilemma where knowing how monsterous and horrible one can be one has faith and seeks solace in a higher force for forgiveness for being so dark and even to help with the temptation.
I found early on life is too short and the extensile struggle to hard to be anything other than being kind.. some people think being kind is a weakness i see that holding that view in of itself is a weakness which can be exploited.
I once talked to a HS Sophmore who had moved from Col to Ca with his parents. He had been in some real bad trouble with the law back there. Maybe a murder? He was telling me that the CA Gangbangers just thought that they were bad. That he was going to show them what being bad really meant. I told him to remember that if someone showed you a kindness it does not mean that person is weak. That stuck in his head as something to remember.. That kid was dangerous..
