don’t you know It’s a somewhat odd line that sometimes crosses our lives and, for some, carries them into a void where nothing counts or affects. You’re probably wondering where I’m from.
First you need to know how to recognize it. Have you ever felt that zero intensity? Have you felt it in a loved one? This door between two worlds: that of the dead and the living. We suddenly become strangers, like watching a movie. A paradox, this line: intense and weak at the same time. We are confronted with the absurdity of life. nothing makes sense A slap in the face that pulls us out of our daily autopilot torpor.
That feeling of nothingness is pretty scary because you feel like you’re already dead, but not quite yet. Some kind of zombification.
In my practice and during my research, I have crossed the path of nothingness several times. Undetected, it can lead to suicide or murder.
Killing becomes mechanical
Nothing is hard to spot, hence its dangerousness. It is often referred to by the words “madness”, “mental disorder”, it is more calming. It refers to incomprehensible gestures that are inexplicable at first glance. Like this tragedy in Laval, where a bus driver with no apparent history, no criminal history, storms into a day care center. He kills two four-year-old children and injures several.
The first reflex in this type of tragedy is to try to understand the attacker’s reasons. What might have been going through his mind? is he crazy Still, he seemed to go about his day as usual. He was not known to have any mental health problems.
When I researched these young people who left Canada to join jihadist groups, or even these gang members who were not afraid of death, I saw nothing. An invasion, albeit temporary, that allowed them to kill and accept death in an almost mechanical way, without fear, without emotion. I have also seen it in ordinary young people who have become murderers overnight.
Is that the case with this man in Laval?
By the way: explaining is not apologizing.
Are we all potential killers?
There’s a killer in every one of us. Each with its own trigger: jealousy, greed, self-defence, nothing, defense of the fatherland, etc. I can already hear the outcry. ” Impossible ! We are not all murderers! »
Ask yourself this question honestly: Under what circumstances would you be willing to kill? If you find one, you are in danger. We all have a turning point where we can get lost. A point of no return. Knowledge helps prevent.
All this to tell you…no one knows what he’s capable of.
