Desperate

So, a lot has happened in the last few months, and it's got me thinking about how human behavior is affected in tight or desperate situations. I guess I started thinking about it when I watched "I Saw the Devil" a while back. In that movie, there's this man who is a serial killer. In the opening he victimizes a police chief's daughter. As the plot unfolds, vigilante justice is sought out, and the serial killer becomes increasingly rash and desperate. Soon, he's just shooting people to do it; because he knows he's going to get caught.

How many of us know people who are to some degree like this? Becoming reckless in their actions if they know they're going to be caught in a lie? I think we all know someone.
Have you ever thought about all the things that change the way we think or act? It's amazing, really. For instance, fear has such a huge impact on the human mind. It changes perspective; it changes rational.
There are things people would never do under normal circumstances that become, in their mind, the only solution when they're scared. I can say I've done this in my life; I think we can all admit to a time when we've acted foolishly because we feel we're backed in to a corner and can't clearly see any way out.

And there are a number of other things that lead to wild, irrational behavior; anything from fear, to stress, to anger. And I really find it fascinating trying to pick through the actions to try and find the catalyst, the root of the issue. Maybe that's why I love studying psychology and sociology so much.  

Thanks for letting me share my little blurb here =) Sometimes I just need to unravel my thoughts ^.^ I think I'll do a little research now, haha.
