People behave more sadistically when they’re bored
Pleasure is fleeting. It must be or else you&#x27;d still be glowing from your first orgasm.<p>Inevitably the search for pleasure will require variety and inevitably that variety brings you to inflicting pain on others.<p>We do it publicly. The romans fed people to the lions. We have lots of violent sports. Nascar isn&#x27;t about driving left. It&#x27;s about the crashes. Hockey is about the fights and checking. Lets not even evaluate violent videogames.<p>The real trick is understanding what&#x27;s happening in your brain and controlling this before it gets to the need to inflict pain.
