Why Murder Is So Fascinating For Some People

Murder. It’s an action that not many of us would take as a first choice on most occasions, but for some, it is, though those who are not killers or psychotic in any way might find the idea of murder fascinating, maybe even brilliant. It does not mean people who enjoy learning and studying murders and murderers are crazy or psychotic themselves.

It just means they have an interest in this vast and intriguing field.

Murder has so many meanings and various ways of being done that no one will ever be 100% perfect at solving them or understanding them. Like everything else, killers and psychotics evolve in their ways of murdering and create new and interesting ways at that.

For some people, murder is like artistry. One would look at a cautionary site where a murder took place and gaze in awe like one would at MOMA at work done by Dali or Michaelangelo. Those who are fascinated by murder are simply in awe of the work done by the killer, and the beauty and utter amazement that follows.

Now, see, unlike regular pieces of art, murder is deep and makes a person question everything. Why did they die? Where are they now? How did the killer do such a thing? It brings up more questions than there are answers for, and those who enjoy understanding murders will always be asking more.

The thing to remember is this: not all those who are fascinated by murder want to be, or will be, murderers in their lifetime. A psycho is not in all of us, but the curiosity and interest in many different things are. The thing you find the curiosity in just various person to person is all.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and just as not everyone finds amazement or interest in art, not everyone will be fascinated by murders. It’s just the way the world works. Even before the popularization of murders on screen, people found interest in murders and killers.

So, next time you’re watching a movie, TV show, or even just the news and you see a murder, try to understand the appeal and fascination some find in that sort of thing before cutting them down and assuming those who enjoy the mystery of murder are sick in the head or killers themselves.

Even give it a chance yourself. Murder will always be a mystery to those who find interest in it, and there will always be more and more to learn and study the subject. There will always be murder in the world, and there will always be new killers out there to change the game and make people fascinated by murder even more curious.

Don’t offend their curiosity and confuse it with psychopathy.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
