Why You Shouldn't Murder

(Subcategory Directory on Law and Order)

Have you ever felt clueless, submissive, weak against the forces you have to handle with on a regular basis? In other words, are you tired being too powerless against your odds?

When some questions such as these are being asked, we may find ourselves having certain fantasies where we are stronger, tougher and more powerful than we currently are, able to surpass the same forces that were oppressing us for so long.

There are two types of archetypes that the oppressed person chooses to imagine themselves in, based on their motives -- the superhero that saves the day for a brighter future, and the serial killer, who is both angry and brave enough to, in fantasy, initiate revenge on those who have wronged them.

Why are serial killers fantasized in media such as movies, video games and so forth? Why do some of us like to root exactly to the villain? That is, because a good villain is "human" in their behaviour and reasoning, whereas the "superman"-like hero is too "inhuman" in their glory and capacity to be unbeaten by the forces they encounter, along with the overrated commitment to "save the world" from someone that might return for another movie/video game and such, thus repeating the cycle.

It is easy in fiction to express who you are through who you aren't, which makes it an additional form of self-expression and perhaps also a reflection of your ideal self -- the one you wish to become but have yet to do so. The same goes with serial killers we either watch, dream or play as.

For some, there is something gratifying when multiple opponents are defeated by a much stronger force of one. Since most of us aren't able to do so single-handedly, we fantasize about a different reality where we can just get rid of our problems by unorthodox, and even illegal, ways, most notably murder since it's the "easiest" route in our fantasies, as it also effective and permanent.

Unfortunately, there were, are and will be those who take this way afar and begin making their hidden fantasies into a reality, only to, usually, be arrested or neutralized afterwards due to the fact that only few serial killers actually get away with their acts of revenge, maliciousness or religious servitude (such as Jihad).

That is the lesson of the Serial Killer Archetype: the fact that you can kill those you hate, doesn't mean it's a smart idea, even if its "fixes" your problems caused by interacting with them.

While human, this Archetype teaches us that in the name of our environment, it is best not be "too human", for our surroundings require a certain degree of mask-wearing in order to get things done, whether we like it or not.

The Serial Killer is delusional; they are free from the control of society, but the deeds they have done mean they can never return to their lives before the killings, thus limiting them tremendously with their own choice being taken away from them by their own actions.

Once you commit murder, there is never going back, whether or not you'll be ever caught. That is because every mundane action can lead to suspicion that can trigger its own rapid, inevitable increasing.

This is why you shouldn't murder in places where it will condemn you permanently, which are, likely, in most of Earth. Even if an underdog to hated superiors, official as unofficial, killing should be the last of the last results.

Use the Serial Killer Archetype not to actually kill, but to get in a deeper touch with your repressed, self-denied human nature; with the one you would've become if civilizations weren't a thing.

By the way, if A.I is to ever develop independent consciousness, we should not let A.I from video games to do so; that way, the killing of A.I opponents wouldn't be considered as murder.
