Soulgate — Elliot Sacchi

…Thanks to my life experience so far, I have developed an interesting theory in my head. Each individual has a percentage of psychopathy in them, a percentage of sociopathic tendencies, some autism, a degree of selfishness and all this is carefully balanced by our ability to feel shame, guilt, empathy, joy and happiness. This is what makes us human. When this fragile balance is breached by a series of negative episodes in a person's life, the balance is bound to shift towards the darkness. It is then, when a person becomes capable of doing despicable things. This is why talking about killing someone came so naturally to me that night.
