When people are pushed to the point where they feel completely powerless, can it cause them to think in ways that would normally be unimaginable?

In the comments from neighbors on the news: “He was usually polite, always greeting people. I can’t believe he committed a crime like that.” “She seemed so quiet and mild-mannered. I can’t believe she could do something so brutal.” I guess people can become like that when they’re pushed to the edge. After all, no one has just one side to their personality. It must be incredibly painful for the family. In today’s online society, digital tattoos remain, so things don’t fade away easily.

If you’re starting to feel mentally unwell, it’s important to see a psychosomatic medicine clinic as soon as possible. Appointments can be booked pretty far in advance, so until your appointment date, it’s fine to visit a nearby general practitioner and get some medication.

I think it’s because human beings are weak. You don’t even have to be pushed to the brink—just losing your composure can seriously mess with your ability to think. I sometimes make the same mistakes over and over too, so it’s a constant cycle of self-loathing… Crime is truly painful and tragic for everyone involved, including both the victims and the perpetrators. Justice, atonement, rehabilitation, and mental health care are absolutely necessary, but I still wonder: is it really okay to leave things at that? In reality, whether someone is considered a criminal is determined less by human notions of good and evil than by the laws that regulate society—and how those laws are interpreted. Setting aside crimes that clearly make others unhappy solely for the offender’s own benefit, it’s still sad that people can be framed as criminals when those in power deliberately manipulate the interpretation of the law. I’ve gone a little off-topic at the end, but that’s my personal view. It’s me.
