Endgame? Misery does love company
The following passage is lifted from one of my favourite movies, The Dark Knight. It’s a very potent and accurate quote in dozens of people’s lives not to mention my own. It truly answers the question of “what’s your endgame?” Or simply “why?” Well to put it bluntly and as simple as possible, I did it for the lol’s. Again I didn’t write the following it is from the movie the Dark Knight.
Alfred: You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn't fully understand.
Batman/Bruce Wayne: Criminals aren't complicated, Alfred. Just have to figure out what he's after.
Alfred: With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that you don't fully understand, either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So, we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anybody who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.
Batman/Bruce Wayne: So why steal them?
Alfred: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
