Quote preview background for Anonymous
All evil seems to arise from the desire to dominate others. Most men in our society are taught from a very early age to try to dominate. It isn__ something that they think about consciously. It operates at a subconscious level. They are taught by the adults around them and their peers. Someone dominates them and they in turn try to dominate others. They do it without even realizing it and they do it without even thinking about why. It is without question. In their conscious awareness they may aspire to grandiose ideals but their actions speak for what really motivates them from a subconscious level.
