It is a fact of human nature that we are capable of experiencing a wide range of thoughts and feelings, some of which are deeply troubling. One such thought that many people may experience at some point in their lives is the desire to kill someone. This is a disturbing and distressing thought that can evoke feelings of guilt, shame, and self-loathing. But it is important to remember that having such thoughts does not make you a bad person. In fact, many people experience this thought at some point in their lives without ever acting on it.

However, it is also important to recognise that having these thoughts does not make it right to act on them. Violence is never an acceptable solution to any problem and can only lead to more suffering and pain for all involved. To resist the urge to act on these thoughts, it is essential to understand the underlying causes of why we may have them in the first place.

One possible reason for having these thoughts is the presence of unresolved anger and resentment in our lives. When we harbour feelings of anger and resentment, we may experience a strong urge to lash out at others. This can manifest itself in thoughts of violence and aggression. To overcome this, it is necessary to address the root causes of our anger and resentment and learn to deal with these emotions in a healthy and constructive way.

Another possible reason for having these thoughts is a lack of empathy and understanding. When we lack empathy and understanding for others, it is easy to view them as mere objects to be used or manipulated for our own gain. To overcome this, it is necessary to develop our capacity for empathy and understanding by making an effort to truly understand and connect with others.

Ultimately, it is important to remember that we are all human beings capable of experiencing a wide range of thoughts and feelings. Having disturbing thoughts of violence and aggression is not something to be ashamed of, but it is also essential to recognise that acting on these thoughts is never justifiable. With self-awareness and a commitment to personal growth, it is possible to resist the urge to act on these thoughts and to lead a life of compassion, understanding, and peace. This book, written by Author James Scott, aims to help individuals achieve just that.
