I find it fascinating how people still manage to be shocked or surprised after what we’ve seen already. What do they expect? How can they expect anything better than this?

Something being normal doesn’t mean it’s good nor does it mean it can’t be fought. Normal is nothing more than a statistical term.

Worse or better, it’s all a matter of perspective, just like if something is utopian or dystopian. For psychopaths and narcissists and sadists, the world is a better place than ever before…
