Today I saw a movie "An American Crime", maybe it shouldn't be called a movie, it should be called a documentary. Because what you see is actually all the truth, and it describes the most notorious child abuse case in American history. Shocked, I searched specifically for the details of this case, see:

Now, I have to say, there is nothing more perverted than this normal pervert, more frightening than this bloodless horror, and more maddening sin than this bloodless murder! I won't say anything about the content of the movie. I couldn't bear to watch it. I deleted it as soon as I watched it, as if I wanted to get rid of a demon. But I couldn't help but think, why? Why! ! ! I really can't imagine, but I have to admit that the makers of this case are ordinary people like you and me, and they all have the same human nature as you and I. I have to admit that evil is actually an integral part of human nature, and I really hope someone can deny this by taking their own example! I feel the guilt and shame that I am a member of the human race with such a human nature! I couldn't help but doubt and fear myself, fearing that the same evil hidden in my own humanity would one day uncontrollably be released! There is nothing more frightening than this fear!
The evolution of species over millions of years can only change our physiological structure, but what mechanism can we rely on to change our various evil natures such as self-righteousness, selfishness, and arrogance? We can't see things that are too long and too far away, and if we can't see or feel things, we'll pretend they don't exist. We have to think about the things that have happened around us. Looting, beatings by crowds, crowds crowding and trampling, the poisoning of each other in today's society, and the more obvious mass madness during the Cultural Revolution, aren't they the reaction to the ills of human nature? Humans are truly an animal in need of transformation.
Le Pen said in "The Crowd": "The ferocity of the collective feeling is intensified by the total disappearance of the sense of responsibility. The realization that there will be no punishment - and the greater the number, the more certain it is - and because people The sense of power generated by a multitude of forces at once will make the group show emotions and actions that are impossible for isolated individuals. Therefore, it is easy for the group to do the worst extreme deeds.” Looking at this passage today, it is really profound what!
Sylvia is long dead, wish there was a heaven to comfort her and my own soul.
