last nights cutting edge programme

There are far worse things a person can do.

of course nigel and i agree but that wasnt the question or point.

Excellent documentary - it could hardly fail with such amazing material, but they didn't try to do anything fancy, and let the facts breathe. Expoiting the grief of others for one's own gain is a vile act, but the perpretator, in this case, came across as more sad than bad. She clearly had major problems of her own.

i wonder what shes up to now ?

I think ultimately people's morals follow the tit-for-tat rule and there is always the hidden agenda that someone has, which is geared towards themselves benefitting in the long-run.

For what reason are people altruistic? You help someone else out and in the future they will owe you or your offspring a favour.

I guess we also all possess different levels of empathy and this empathy magnifies our doing of good deeds. Of course if it is lower that correlates with us not doing good deeds for others.

Flip that on its head and you can see why individuals such as that woman take advantage of others' suffering. I far from condone this as it is something that I would hate being done to me or someone I cared for.

But nature is ultimately selfish and that is why women like her are born.

Kind regards,

Jon
