RE: The Physiological Thrill of Using a Weapon
The secondary school I attended was a bit filled with students who love fights and cause violence all the time. At some point I had to fight and the first day I ever used a weapon to defend myself, I could feel a rush. My heartbeat increased. I felt it is bad but at the same time I was excited and feel like doing it again. I now know why I did that then.
@mr-aaron ... wow... Thank you for sharing that. That's amazing to read that someone, not just a test subject in a trial, can 1st hand say he knows what it feels like. I remember something similar when I picked up a gun. .. I was only shooting at clays but it felt "powerful". I guess the truth is that if we strip away or modern society we're all still cave men and women whether we like it or not and the sooner we understand that the sooner we can truly tackle issues of violence before they happen. Education and understanding. ....
I love your reply. I think its easy to take a man out of the cave (modernization) but it will be difficult to take the cave out of the man.
