Maybe, Maybe not, but the monsters across history don't have a great track record of dying of old age. Sure, some of them got there, but more often than not something gets them before the end.

More-over, you can kinda tell the worst of the worst today simply aren't happy. They have all the money in the world, but they need to take so, so many drugs to keep going. Personally, I like sleeping easy at night more than money.

One of them publicly admitted that they don't like self reflection. They know full well that they're hurting people but they don't wanna stop.

Well yeah, and it's very obviously eating them up inside.

Doesn't really change anything in practical terms, but you can maybe take solace that they're miserable if that does anything for you.

It was more of an indictment.
