"A Question"

Apart from being against the law, why can't I kill someone?

I'm just interested in the answers.

I want for reason. Maybe I can see a rapist, a murderer, someone who will take advantage of others, as someone who should not be allowed to live on this planet. Perhaps then, I want to kill, because of the strength of the reason.

But what's to stop me from killing someone who's clumsy? Someone who I think swears too much?

And killing someone does require removing their life from this planet, yes.

Yeah, but they were fighting for their lives, whilst you were representing the West, and therefore were fighting for oil.

Aside the law, did say. I could surely try to kill anyone who tried to catch me, and I would suppose that would haunt me more.

You might WANT to kill someone, but you've got to think, is there any real reason for doing it.

I mean, once you've done it, you can't just bring them back to life.

There's nothing except getting caught getting in your way.

When I say old, I meant random, not aged :D

Ah, good answer. But then, nothing would haunt me for when I die, because nothing will be there at all, of that I'm quite sure.

What perhaps if you were already haunted by what perhaps people have done? After all, if I were to kill someone, I'd personally make judgement of doing it before hand, I'd not like to kill without reason.

And what if that reason was so disturbing to you, so haunting, that perhaps killing that person would seem so justifiable, that you would almost feel satisfied to do so?

But I agree, killing any old person would haunt you. Perhaps just those you want to kill, those you judge worthy of death?

You can kill people in war. I doubt you go through mental torture then, because if you hadn't have killed them one of them were gonna kill you.

Depends if you are able to repress your emotions.

I am able to repress certain emotions providing they're not too intense.

Because, unless you are a psychopath, killing someone would be the worst form of torture for yourself, rather then the person that you killed.

Guilt and regret would haunt you for the rest of your life, until you die.
