Which is why, just because someone is a sociopath, for example, doesn't mean that they're not responsible.

Our medical legal jurisprudence has absolutely borne that out.

That legally, medically, we think...

Okay, we're responsible, presuming we're healthy.

We're not unhealthy in other ways that eliminates our ability to be circumspect, but that we're responsible for what we do and don't nurture inside of us.

I mean, there are plenty of things we could decide to nurture anger and hatred about.

You know, I could think of slights, difficulties, whether it's something someone else has done to me, or I could blame fate, or I could be mad at God or the world.

We can all make those choices, and we're responsible for them, or for recognizing things in us that are like, oh, you know, I too have that in me, but...

I don't want to nurture that.

I don't want to foster that.

Or do I choose to nurture and foster that?

And I think ultimately, on a subject of Hitler as evil, if Hitler had kept winning and winning, I think ultimately he would have been the only person on earth.

And I really do believe that ultimately everyone, everything else would be killed because it's such destruction.

Destroy everything.

And probably when that didn't work, then there's the destruction of the self because nothing...

soothes envy that is stoked by the sort of flames of evil.

And what you see is more and more anger and more and more frustration, which is why I really do believe someone like that, who nurtured evil in themselves that way, ultimately would destroy.

They'd be like him and one other person, then he'd kill the other person.

And now you're not jealous anymore.

You're not jealous anymore.
