Do bad and evil people ALSO suffer?


Anyone know, thanks.

Or do they only feel a dissatisfaction if like true villains they can't realize their dastardly plans?

reply

I guess yes they do, but [insert tons of common reality info here that demonstrates once again that life differs from action movies but people still have golden rule stances and emotions here].

reply

I really don't feel that we should call real people "evil", and I'm careful about even calling somebody "bad".
But yeah, everybody will suffer somehow sooner or later.

reply

So you don't think people like Hitler, Jim Jones, Stalin, etc. were evil?

reply

It is not up to me to judge people who died before I was even born.
And I don't even know who Jim Jones is.

reply

Judging? All you have to do is read some history to figure out they were evil, bad people.

BTW, just how old are you?

reply

Are you familiar with Hitler and Stalin?

reply

Never heard of the Jonestown massacre?

reply

Are you incapable of comprehending history?

Cult leader Jim Jones orchestrated the Jonestown Massacre, about 900 people died in a mass suicide that he encouraged.

Serial killer Ted Bundy raped, tortured and murdered at least three dozen young, innocent women in multiple states across America and often went back days later to further violate their corpses.

Pol Pot's regime caused the deaths of as many as two million people in and around Cambodia.

I'll judge for you, there are always a handful of evil bastards in the world and they need to be gotten rid of one way or the other.

reply

But the world is not so black and white, that calling a real life person "evil" is appropriate.
That's a word, that should be reserved for fictional characters.

reply

Oh my! Yes they and their deeds are black and white.

What does fiction have to do with reality?

reply

I very strongly disagree. Robbing a bank, stealing a car or ripping off your company are all criminal acts that deserve an appropriate punishment. However, for example, what terrorists do is pure evil, their disgusting behavior denotes a disdain for society at large, human life in general and basic common decency and they should be very publicly destroyed so as to set an example for other possible trouble makers.

reply

Well, certain guilty CRIMINALS who have violated or brutally murdered anyone, they certainly do fit the profile of "evil" individuals, no?

reply

No, we have it pretty good.

reply

Everyone bad suffers, but not everyone who suffers is bad. That goes for heroes, villains and all the people in between!

reply

this is a good answer, everybody suffers, not just the bad

reply

Unfortunately, everyone gets constipated.

reply

Yes, but they deal with their own suffering by making other people suffer *more*.

There was an old movie studio head who liked to say "I don't get ulcers, I GIVE them.".
