yes, Xcto, i could well foresee the answer to my general question as you did
from reading Lila. but what begs to be answered is the specific question:
What would lead those very young boys to harbor feelings of such complete
destruction against those they knew?
in other words, what intellectual freedom could an 11 and a 13 year old have
to eradicate any social constraint on their part and go ahead with
cold-blooded murder?
when i pose the question in that way then i see the beginning of an answer
in that there must have been very little social instruction in those boys'
environment or at least not strong enough as their intellectual will.
now, the question is this: are these two boys exceptionally gifted with an
icredibly forceful intellect which supercedes any social restraint? or was
the social restraint too weak to supercede their forceful intellect? or was
it perhaps a combination of two equally balanced forces in which an external
incident triggered one of the two (the intellect in this case) to supercede
the other?
do you follow my line of thought?
