I Could've Done That...


I've always wondered whether there were others who thought the same way as I did at times. Like when our SAF Lt. General came to give us a talk, I could have possibly ran up and hurt him, or maybe even kill him if I had prepared. Or maybe something less brutal, like hugging him, weggie him. I tend to think of such possibilities especially when there are important people around. At least I know now there are thoughts like this lying around. But it's just amazing that none of us carry out these acts. There is this self restraint present in us. But does it make us unable to carry out these acts in that case? You see these people totally not expecting any such thing. It's as though it's taken for granted that nothing of this sort would happen, and of course (so far so good) nothing has happened. It really makes you ponder whether it's really possible. Like whether a tree falling in the woods without anyone to observe would make a sound?

I'm very sure most people would have heard exclaimations like "If I really wanted to I could kill you!" or something similar. So is that what is stopping us in making choices? Really wanting something? Putting your mind to actually doing it? Is this mental restraint greater than any form of physical restraint? Maybe it is.
