Change will always be possible. It is a constant in the fabric of this world. The thing is, will the change be for the better or for worse. I believe that the distance between facing pain and becoming a sadist is quite short.

Basically sadists are creations of their environment. I say this with the sense of the environment either forcing negative change on a broken man who used to be filled with laughter and light or it encourages and nurtures the seed of sadism within another and gives him or her the opportunity to explore wickedness.

When we ignore that which is wrong, we gradually become immune to the effects of such wrongful behaviour and soon we start seeing the rightness of such behaviour and that is a short distance to becoming perpetrators of acts that would have made us cringe before. This is the way of things.

Can we be better than this? I hope so. Am I sure that sadists will cease to exist in this world? I doubt it. For as long as there have been heedless sheep, there have ever been cunning wolves to lead them to their deaths.
