    Maybe I’ve already had an aneurysm and this reality is merely a terrible delusion borne of that.

      Reality is that ethics are subjective restrictions we place on ourselves and each other. When these restrictions aren’t maintained, the choice of harming another for one’s self benefit loses its inherent consequencial dread.

      Those who don’t fear the results of their actions cannot weigh the possible risks involved. And when there are no risks seen, only the possible benefits remain.
