Hello Godwin, your exploration of the human psyche touches on some profound truths that resonate with historical events where social pressures unleashed collective violence. Consider the Rwandan Genocide, which in 1994 saw ordinary citizens turned into perpetrators of mass brutality under the influence of propaganda and manipulated social dynamics. This is a stark reminder of how quickly the 'beast' can surface when societal norms crumble, and those accused often recede into the shadows of history after committing acts they would normally never conceive. In many respects, it underscores the need for vigilance in self-awareness and moral responsibility. As you astutely mention, the power to tame this inner beast resides within us, and perhaps acknowledging this vulnerability could catalyze real societal change.
