one day in my class we had a discussion on murderers

what goes in their head

drives them to the edge

one of the girls in my class had said

"not everyone with a mental illness kills, so mental illness shouldn't be an excuse"

i thought to myself,

"well isn't anyone that kills messed up in the head"

then i think of history

how easy it once was to have a man kill a man

ruthlessly

how common murders were and the  hate that accompanied with it

mercilessly

we see them as messed up now

but the truth is that over time society's morals have changed

so that murder is far from reasonable

far from how accepted it used to be


so is it still possible

for a "normal" person

no disabilities

to kill?
