Thank you very much for your consultation.
Why did I become like this?
Why do we find violence fun?
Is it the environment you grew up in?
Is it human instinct?
Did God give you that kind of feeling?
I think it's important to think about why.
However, understanding the reason and being allowed to do that act are different things.
While I was reading the contents of the consultation, I remembered a scene from a drama I had watched a long time ago.
This is the content of the first episode of NHK's “Limit Detective Scene 2.”
Detective Umeki in this drama
“Hey, you were just afraid to move on to a strong guy. So they chose weak people and stabbed them to death. That's all,” he says.
Why is “bullying the weak” fun?
Is that violence itself?
Is it a feeling of being able to control something weaker than yourself?
Is it something your opponent can't resist?
Does it cause strong stimulation to the body?
Is it watching your partner suffer?
I think it's okay to take a closer look at that for yourself.
And in the same scene, Detective Umeki
“While we're alive, we sometimes meet people we hate so much that we want to kill them. But they also say, “You can't kill normal people, you can't kill them.”
There is a gap between anger or desire to attack and actual action.
What to do in the meantime...
And Detective Umeki
“Stay strong and fight, too, if you're human!”
I say it.
I would like to convey this phrase “stand still” in the content of this consultation.
What I felt was fun itself is an emotion that has already happened.
But whether or not they do it next time is another matter.
If you feel that it's hard to stop on your own, I think it's also necessary to talk to someone about it.
It could be a family member, someone you trust, or an expert.
Don't just hold it inside; make brakes outside too.
And one more thing.
In the drama, the victim's father meets the culprit.
There, for the first time, the culprit is confronted right in front of him that the person he hurt also had a family, a life, and a life.
I don't just look at the pleasure I felt; what happened on the other side because of that pleasure?
I think we need to watch that together.
I was reminded of a scene from this drama.
What do you think when you read Detective Umeki's words?
And how do you feel?
