I understand people who are sadistic to some extent…Sometimes people hurt you so much that you sorta don’t care about other people’s pain or you are in pain and want others to feel pain too… Or sometimes people like to be the reason someone is in pain…I’m not sadistic but sometimes I think hatefully towards people who are more fortunate than me and I understand that a little hate can escalate into something much more serious…What I don’t understand is why someone would KILL a person they don’t even KNOW.On top of that they would run the risk of LIFE in prison…I wish there was a way to prevent people from hurting themselves AND others.

Sadism is usually about control – it’s about forcefully changing something outside oneself, and being kind to others carries with it the risk that the others won’t reciprocate, or won’t really care, which would mitigate the point of doing it. Being sadistic, on the other hand, is very hard to mess up. But so long as people feel powerless, they’ll continue doing whatever they feel like they have to do to regain some modicum of control over their lives. What would be better is for them to find a more constructive outlet for that need, rather than funneling it all into destructive pathways.
