Serial killers..... i am so curious about them.. more about what unleashes that side of them that perhaps most of us have. Who are they when they are in the act of killing, dismembering, harming/unharming? What are they seeing in their minds? Who are they seeing in their minds?
Do they really enjoy the act or is it an itch they have to scratch? An itch that propels a physiologically, an act. Meditation seeks to bring awareness to such propulsion.
Perhaps they are transported into a different reality in their mind, in moments of "propulsion" to scratch that itch.
I had this in mind, a Venn diagram.. and all of us see ourselves as Disparate Venn Diagrams and occasionally crossing paths and having an intersection. (The symbol of an Audi car came to mind) Perhaps enlightenment is seeing that we are all overlapping Venn Diagram, we are the very same circle.
There is perhaps a Spark in Serial Killers that is kindness and love, that was dimmed some time ago. I believe. It just take too much effort to relight.
Great question. Since I have a preoccupation with psychopaths, I can say that I have never met or heard of a psychopath who was truly bi-moral. They all hate life and are basically very fearful, just like most people. Ted Bundy famously worked on a crisis hotline and helped little ladies cross streets even as he was stalking coeds. He was a loving boyfriend and diligent law student, earning the praise of the judge who sentenced him to death. However, I think it's possible, perhaps even natural, to be bi-moral, as you described it. My cats are bi-moral, but they are, significantly, peaceful. Why would they needlessly kill or harm another creature? Instead, they take every opportunity to lounge and cuddle...
People make both good and bad decisions. If I were to judge if a person was good or bad, I would consider the accumulation of their life actions. Does someone project positivity or negativity into the world? Does someone blame others for one’s unhappiness? Does someone help others more than they hurt? Does someone try to bring out the best in others or tear them down to make themselves feel superior? Does someone choose a career to make money but take advantage of the less educated or unprivileged to do so? Does someone care for their mental and physical health so they can show up the best version of themselves for others? Is someone generous with their time and their learned skills? Does someone learn from their mistakes or keep making them?
I do believe people who are true psychopaths or sociopaths can ultimately be good people with self-recognition and treatment. However, most people, in the judgment of serial killer lives, would be hard-pressed to call them good people.
