Some people, absolutely. Nothing is universal. Not everybody has a hidden node of empathy and understanding waiting to bloom inside of them. There are monsters in this world that wear human faces. Some people are beyond help, redemption, or reason. Pretending like literally everybody, no matter who they are nor what they’ve done, has some sort of care bear moment waiting to make their heart grow three sizes because they just needed that one special thing to realize the error of their ways is childish storytelling naïveté and something people tell themselves to try to not hate their abusive parents or partners.

When someone does something it lets you know, 100%, point blank, there is no doubt, they are capable and willing to do that. To believe otherwise is delusional.

You know how there are those people that believe they can communicate with bears and wolves so strongly that they try to live amongst them? People do it kind of a lot. There is only one way any of those stories has ever ended. If you’re dumb enough expect a bear or a wolf to not act like a bear or a wolf then you’re going to get eaten by a bear or a wolf. Humans are animals, not divine creations with greater instilled concepts magically encoded into us, don’t expect a predator to not be a predator just because you aren’t one.

Absolution is a stupid, childish, and religious concept.
