Aren't they supposed to save lives? ^^

Well, yeah... Accidents happen.

But really I'm referring more to the act/process of surgery itself. The use of specific implements, similar sensation experiences... helping another by hurting them in a precise manner. (Also, recall the hermetic origins of/influence on western medicine).

Dentist is the Little Shop of Horrors stereotypical option :

I've thought about killing people in the same way. Life is frustratingly stupid in a lot of ways. Many people do things they don't enjoy because socially they think they have to; and many use these socially accepted rules to compete with others for needs, rights, and power, rather than try to live symbiotically with others. I've had the feeling of realizing life would be a lot more enjoyable, perhaps even easy, if I was the only one alive, although a bit lonely, I suppose.

I don't know if those are similar feelings you have, but I can understand if they are. Ideally though, you would want to find a way to live your life symbiotically with other people; then the urge should go away...theoretically.

Seems several people think this, but I'd like to topple their certainty. Perhaps they watch too much CSI. A huge amount of crimes are in fact never solved. Hell, where I live, just the other day I saw a statistic (that I am not inclined to doubt for a variety of reasons) claiming 95% of crimes were uninvestigated. The percentage of crimes actually investigated and someone punished is pathetically minuscule. This of course varies wildly by location, but it sure isn't a certainty you'll be caught in a short time-frame, if at all.

It's true.
I sometimes fantasize about those smarter criminals that can steal a bunch of money, go their separate ways, and never commit any crimes again. They would be very hard to catch, if they didn't leave any evidence to directly connect them to the crime. I suppose the best ones probably live in Wall Street - could be stock brokers, bankers, accountants, CEOs, etc. Hmmm...

when I was 7 and 8 I made my aim to exterminate humanity.
I grew bloodlust, I visualized and enjoyed people suffering and burning,
bit by bit I calmed down and now I am gonna get some sleep.

These are not criminals, remember, objectively in the system of law they commit crimes, however they are above the law and will most likely never be discovered. We cannot call them criminals as long as our law is ineffective in catching them and dealing with this sort of things.

I would rather say that law is designed in a way for this to exist.

You should enjoy the fact that you could have those thoughts. I can imagine that in order to prevent the act human masses may be even prevented thinking about the inappropriate in the future.

I also got bad moments. I reread my previous post, and it is a bit condescending, wasn't intended as such.

After a depressing trip out. I felt better after finishing the picture.

How so? I'm not sure what you mean.

I think this is also a matter of location, however generally I'd agree with this sentiment.

I'm good, I'm sorry to have included you all in this, it wasn't right to present my problems for you to solve. Zero(the name of "other me" I've used since childhood) will have to learn his place. I'm going to see a psychiatrist soon, thank you all for your honest words.

when you say "thank you"
do you actually care about how other people feel?

or do you say this as you believe it is in accord with social convention?

I ask because I find it intriguing to see a person who both at the same times harbors feelings to end human life, while also caring what other people think about him.

Murderous rampages are always investigated, regardless of where you live.

Was the statistic for all crimes or all murders? If it is indeed the latter then I'm shocked.

Unless he lives in Syria or Somalia (which he doesn't, I'm sure) or something to that effect, then even a murder would be at the least investigated.

Mind, I was also trying to dissuade him from killing someone. It's not overwhelmingly great advice to suggest a feasible chance of escape.

I'm saying thank you simply because it's the nice thing to say. I may not actually feel gratitude, but that doesn't mean I can't go through the motions for the sake of being kind to someone else who can feel. I may be, uncaring and well...sociopathic at times but I try to be kind to people when Zero's not getting in the way

What would it take for you to reunite yourself? I find dissociation from the self interesting, yet yours is entirely uncontrollable?

Why aren't Ezro and Zero both the same? (Either or both can answer, just do me the favor of not deleting what the other types.) Might they be united in a manner similar to the riddle of the two guards?

You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards.

You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?

Spoiler

"If I asked the _other_ guard, which door would he indicate leads to Paradise?" Take the door _opposite_ to what's indicated! Regardless of whom you ask, they'll point to the wrong door.
