I am beginning to wonder how many of the medications people take today have to do with aggression and lack of empathy for others.
I have been reading articles on this from the medical community who are researching this and the findings are frightening.
Perhaps our dependence on drugs in our culture is removing the natural inclinations to feel guilt or sorrow. We can't blame drugs on our behavior, but perhaps the use of drugs is removing natural inhibitions to bad behavior.
When our conscience is removed or dulled, we are capable of nearly everything. It is also interesting to me that when our conscience is removed through drugs or alcohol, we never get better, we never become more kind, more loving and more empathic, we become worse about everything.
Seems that a conscience is the part of us that keeps our "real self" in check.
Something to think about!
