Hey,
First my response to the first message. My intent btw is not to hurt you, but to discuss our views kindly to broaden both our views.
Perhaps we mean the same, but just have a different idea of what malignancy or malice is!
Lets take the most extreme example of death.
1.Unintentional death by accident
Example: I fall to death, because i didnt understand i cant fly. I am hit by a car because i walked on the road. Dangerous but not malicious. I think we agree.
2.Biological death
Example: i fail to eat and drink, thus i die.
Dangerous, not malicious. I think we agree.
3.What you call malice, imho can be split in 2:
3a. Violence to self or others from psychosis.
Example: I kill the neighbour because i hear a voice that says they only go to heaven if i kill them (intent: benevolent, helping them).
Example: I kill the neighbour because i falsely believe they came in to kill me right now (intent: self-defence).
I think we agree this CAN be a risk with sz and horribly dangerous. I wouldnt label it as malicious though, because the intent is really not evil at all. Just thorougly misguided benevolence or self-defence.
3b. Violence to self or others from malice
Example: I kill the neighbour because i enjoy it, their pain and fear gives me pleasure (sadism).
Example: I kill the neighbour because i want their money. I know full well it is wrong and harms them, i just dont care (psychopathy, sociopathy, lack of conscience).
THIS 3b to me is malignant, malicious.
CONCLUSION:
I agree 1, 2 and 3a can be part of sz and horrible.
But first: I do not think all sz people have these dangers. Someone can also just believe they are jesus and need to hand out purple flyers to everyone to believe in them. Many many sz arent dangerous or violent at all.
Second, i do not see these as malignant or malicious. To me 3b is true malignancy and this i feel isnt part of sz at all. It’s a radically different disorder.
I do not mean to attack you, just to explain what i mean when i say: sz people arent malignant.
What do you think?
