My OperaSOME KIND of MONSTER

Have you ever argued with someone? Or, have you ever loved someone? I feel that their answers are all the same, in other words “Yes,” as the answer to “Have you ever wanted to gain something in life?” So, let me ask you this now: How many lives have you taken? In other words, how many people have you killed because you loved, argued, or you wanted to gain something? None? Most probably. But, maybe not, taking murders’ current increase into consideration. In consequence of this increase, I wondered what the most common motives for murder are, and did some research. The statistics showed me that the most common three defined reasons for murder in the United States are arguments, robbery, and narcotics. However, they, of course, have some other reasons triggering their action, such as love, self-defense, or murdering for gain…
Arguments make up 37.7% of murders coming in the first place as reasons for murder, in other words “intentional killing of a human being by another”. Just because they do not agree, people find the solution in terminating the other’s life. Is it that simple? I often argue for this reason or another, but never have I killed any of those with whom I argued even if I strongly oppose them. Why? Because I am not loyal to my ideas? Or, because I am afraid…? No. It is because I just have not needed to kill, it is because I am a real human who can control her motives. (Of course, to some extent!) To tell the truth, I heard of deductive argument, practical argument, or doublespeak argument, but never ever anything like murderous argument. Any argument that results in murder shows me the primitiveness. Maybe this is something human beings cannot eradicate, for “impulse for violence” is in the nature of them, as Freud suggests. However, it never means “Ok. Murder is acceptable.” Never! I think that when they murder, they are no different from animals, though animals have no reason but surviving when they kill another one.
And humans sometimes kill just to survive too, which is self-defense as a legal term in law. Yes, it is a legal term, but is it legal to kill just for self-defense? It is a little bit complicated in terms of law, in fact. For example, imagine that someone is trying to rob you, which does not require so much imaginative power, for hundreds of them are happening everywhere, and also imagine that he has a gun. Anytime he might shoot you, and somehow you manage to grab the gun, and in “self-defense” you shoot him. But how many times? If you shoot once, U. S. law might categorize it as self-defense. However, if you shoot five times, the law does not defend you! Therefore, not to make your head ache, it is useful to make sure to defend yourself by, for example, not walking in dark, remote areas all alone in night, or refraining from excessive consumption of narcotics, which makes you vulnerable to disasters, even murders with the percentage of 7.1 as we see in the Statistical Abstract of the United States.
Similarly, the statistics shows that people murder for gain (10.1%). Today, unfortunately, taking others’ life for the sake of even a small thing has become so common that we even cannot catch up with purse-snatching news. I really do not understand which possession is more valuable than human life. They who murder someone for gain may be hungry, or they may be badly in need of something, but this never gives them good reason to get others’ most priceless possession ¬ their lives. Perhaps the motive for them to murder others for gain is hunger, or inequality, which is preventable. So maybe the real solution would be to eradicate the seeming motives such as hunger, inequality, or any cause that they show as excuses, and help them to gain high merit, good characters, and respect first for themselves, which will help them to understand other people’s lives value as well.
Love: the most positive, sweet word in the dictionary. Murder, blood: the coldest, ugliest words; however, they often become good couples taking a preposition between them: Murder for Love. Unfortunately, we human beings have the talent of blackening each piece of beauty, even love. People sometimes kill to show their love, and sometimes to wipe out the barriers that disable them to reach their loves, and sometimes out of jealousy, which I think the real motive for the so-called love murders like the case of Rahan Arshad, 36, who killed his wife and three children on finding text messages from his wife’s mobile phone. According to the news on BBC world “Rahan Arshad would always accuse his wife of flirting with other men.” “Why are you looking at him?”, “Why is he looking at you?”… were his common questions. And when he sees the love messages, he finds the solution in slaying his wife, his children’s mother and them as well. And he accuses “found love texts”, not himself. Huh? It seems here the motive is neither love nor jealousy; it is absolutely “found love texts” as Mr. Arshad is aware and accusing! What a piece of nonsense.
These are the seeming reasons. But what about the real reason behind all these? Maybe, the aggravation from lack of success in life; monetary, marital, or anything…or the motive that human beings have in their ids since birth… Maybe we are all monsters, some kind of monster! Who knows?
