bad to the bone
what makes a human monster a monster?4 total reviews
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Interesting thoughts. Who and how is a monster created? There are those who are raised and treated in deplorable conditions, yet they come out okay. Yet, under the same conditions, the monsters are nurtured and born. Other monsters come from families with all the advantages of a successful life yet they are "bad to the bone." I am thinking of one who has no empathy and is still seeking power even if he destroys all that is around him.
Thought-provoking and interesting post.

it was fun to write and fun to tie into the classic song about a sociopath
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
I think this is a awesome entry for the challenge and contest. Firstly, I enjoy pairing cultural pop music with these challenges and you've done that perfectly. Secondly, I do agree that many factor may create a human monster, which we unfortunately see play out daily, and over the years. Those who are not monster like want to root for the worst human monsters they change but those outcomes are often out of our reach. This is entertaining and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing this good luck!

Comment from Enrico Langfordino
There are those for whom there is no hope or chance of hope. Remember, it is but a song, though, there are those for whom there is no hope or chance of hope. We did away with the death penalty on the proviso that every murderer is given a chance to change their ways. I think, if a person takes a life they risk losing their own......... Of course there are friendly monsters, but I ain't met one yet !

And as far as monsters go, we're all monsters of one kind or another.
