Dear Zack,

A good friend who was a minister and a counselor taught me one answer to "how," which helped me make more sense of the world...

Because all that kind of terrible things, it has all been done to them at one time...and they are just passing it on. They are indeed empty inside, it is a dreadful way to live. Some people, everybody around them gets a little bit sicker because of their presence.

And so life calls us, somewhere, somehow...to have compassion for the perpetrator, too.

They're probably have issues (i.e drug abuse, alcoholics, PTSD etc.) My childhood best friend who I've known since kindergarten attempted to murder his sister when he was 15 due to child abuse trauma, betrayal, drug abuse, alcohol and failed. He then committed suicide seconds later.

Jealousy, broken emotions, hatred, misunderstandings, pressure, bad experiences, revenge, negative impressions by others.  Many more . . .

But we must take a moment and think through this from another perspective as well, we must spend a quality time to become one hundred percent sure if someone is really good enough to not deserve a terrible thing experience! We can't always know everything from someone's past. Sometimes the terrible things in a good person's life is an answer of their dark past which been left unanswered at the time for the right moment. Even if you have changed, you'll get the replays of what you have done. Good or bad.

Because a lot of them are just empty inside and could care less about anyone but themselves. So doing something terrible to someone else just doesn't bother them at all. Sickening, isn't it ?

Unfortunately, some people are born broken. 

Some are broken by their parents---whether by action or omission.

Some are self-made through their carelessness, ignorance, or poor choices.

I have neither an answer nor a solution....

There is no one answer that would explain negative or even unconscionable human behavior ., people behave in ways that are not so easy to explain. Primarily it can be a matter of emotional damage. They don't act or respond in conventional ways because they are so emotionally damaged... broken. 

Then there are those who are what is referred to as socially retarded. Their learned social skills are so poorly mentored (by bad parenting or other influences) that they simply don't know any better. They have been taught to treat people in a negative and demeaning way. 

For that matter Both instances may have influenced a persons ability to interact with others. A persons upbringing does affect their development in terms of how they act and interact on a social standard .. but, it does not define it necessarily .  Even people with a normal upbringing can grow up to make bad decisions and be assholes.

It's not only young adults and kids killing for a measly $20 .. prisons are jam pack filled with criminals who have commited senseless crimes .. most often because of the addiction problems. The primary reason people commit the stupidest crimes .. like killing for pennies is due to desperation caused from drug addictions .. Its an epidemic on a monumental scale. I find it odd that it isn't treated like one.
