Watched detective conan, I realized that many of the culprits are rather forced to do the crime. They are usually under pressure or torture by the victim, and could no longer bare it thus did he murder without considering the consequences. Then I pondered, shouldnt we be more sympathetic towards them, I'm sure they did them out of desperation. They were under too much stress that they could not rationalize, thus they they just amoral, they no longer care about morality due to the situation. Then I read a comment by some fans, I think they have a good point, isnt the cause of the crimes the results of polices' failures to maintain law and order, including justice? Well, thats in the anime though, where the culprits are emotionally fragile, in real life they are just delusional and they are addicted to their personality and character.

Some thoughts, what is morality? Why do why abide to such human-implemented law, are we then playing god? Are we supposed to be civilized or just as beastly? I think, it is a practice whereby one treats another lovingly as what he treat himself as such. Quoted from a Confucius saying. However isnt it then promoting selfishness? Since we treat each other such a way that we want them to treat us the same way? Nope, by doing so, we develop a habit, and with the habit, our personality and character will morph too.
