If I were ever put in a situation where I needed to (justifiably) take the life of another human being, I do not believe that I would suffer greatly, or fret or ruminate over my actions. Now, given the vagaries of the human subconscious... "feelings" and such... I'm sure I cannot make that determination, definitively.

But I completely believe that any inconvenience that could arise within my psyche as a result of my doing what needed to be done, I believe I could squash that inconvenience. Easily. ... Maybe I am a cold, disengaged human being, teetering on the brink of sociopathy. But I don't think I would "feel bad" about killing someone that "needed killing" ... I tend to make a decision and stick with it.

"Fuck the world" because I know I am right-- that kind of thing.
