THE POINT by (me!) Sandra, tvgp

This is my imaginary conversation with a real man who wrote in to a magazine asking whether something was wrong with him if when he read about a woman being raped, he became aroused.

Our conversation takes place in a kitchen.

"See this knife?  Tuesday night it was used by a psychopath who stabbed a pregnant woman to death with it.

But monday night it was used to cut the best beef in the market which was cooked to perfection and fed an entire family one of the greatest meals of their life

When you look at the knife..  Does it make you hungry?

***

Conquer the world with " kindness...  Kindness..."

***

Let me try again...

*****

See this delicious meal?  The appearance and aroma so enticing it re-creates an appetite in a completely stuffed human being..  

Inside however, poison has been planted and whoever eats the meal will grow very sick and die.

Even if you KNOW their is poison inside..  Your brain's first/default response will be to the sight of the meal..  And you might in fact salivate

But this is NO indication you are a bad person.. It is just a biological response; common

You are not your brain..  You are not your biological responses; you can observe them..   Steer them... Educate them..

So,  look again at the meal..  Compare your biological response with knowledge it has poison inside

You might in fact salivate.. But you can and should ignore that/dismiss that..  Biological

What you ultimately respond to is your knowledge.

If the knowledge that the knife, in the first scenario, was used to murder a pregnant woman..

And the knowledge that meal contains poison..

If those two things arouse you..

Please do us all a favor and jump off a bridge.
