I never said I hadn't experienced true hatred and evil. The aforementioned bullies certainly enjoyed watching others in pain and enjoyed the power it gave.
However the others in the class weren't doing it for the delight of watching others suffer or for the feeling of power.
I wasn't seeking to absolve him of blame ether, please do not put interpretations I never meant.
There is a difference in choosing an action of your own creation and will and having an action forced upon you because the consequences for not doing the action is too terrible for you to face.
The former is truly evil and monstrous. The latter makes you weak, cowardly and selfish.
