Comments on Can A Truly Happy Person Commit A Crime?
Anyone can commit a crime. From murdering a little girl to stealing a pack of gum from walmart. Famous people might not be as happy as others think. They are always followed around and never get time to theirselfs. They probably rarely see their friends and family. So i wouldnt call that happy. Money isnt everything
I think that sometimes crime makes people happy.
For instance, when I’m trying to get to school, every lot and parking pace is full, and I come across some jerk taking up two spots because he just couldn’t be bothered to park properly…
The mere THOUGHT of keying his paint job brightens up my whole day. I haven’t actually done it (yet) but the thought of passing some of my misery back onto him takes a bit of it from me.
They were stupid, ignorant, and lost as people becasue they have no sense of self. And someone who robs a bank (in general) is missing happiness or compleation in their lives, i think.
Or it could be a mental dissorder, which brings us back up to “A”/
Are you kidding me? Do you know the thrill and rush you get from doing something wrong?
I do stupid things because I’m a kid and I know when I grow up I won’t have an excuse to do wrong things anymore
The most perfectly normal person can commit a crime
money and fame doesnt make you happy, and that is why they do those things.
