Somewhere in my life I missed something. I remember being a big teenager and very athletic. I recall little tykes in the neighborhood looking up to me. It's very odd that I never took the time to beat up all those little kids in the neighborhood just because I could. Oh the joy of taking advantage of the helpless.
I also remember a friend of mine being in a terrible accident and becoming paralyzed from the neck down. All those years we spent time together I never once thought to push his wheel chair off a curb or punch him in the face for kicks. What was wrong with me? He was there for the taking.
All those "fun" things I could have done to make people miserable and ruin part of their life for them. Think how clever and powerful I would have been to take advantage of people?
The above paragraphs are obviously meant to be sarcastic and yet there are deviant people in society who think and act upon this type of behavior all the time. They are called computer hackers. They some how derive pleasure from attacking someone for the sole purpose of being destructive.
Supposedly some them even think it reflects an intellect. The fact is ruining someone's computer in this manner is as hard as a 16 year old beating up a 3 year old or someone slapping around a wheel chair bound invalid. Maybe trying to get past the security code of the pentagon is difficult, butting sending a virus or worm through an email? That's just pathetic.
And yet somehow these perpetrators think they are being clever. Probably they would have an orgasm knowing I took a few minutes to comment on their sickness.
If there are any of you "genius types" out there, could you please tell me what perverted pleasure you get out of this? If you are indeed smart and computer savvy isn't there anything more challenging and meaningful you could find to do?
