In reference to the thread about soldiers throwing stones at a crippled dog, I wonder… Where is the line between ignorance and malice. Surely, the word malice exists for a reason. Is malice a product of ignorance? Is malice a result of lack of education? Or is it more than that?
I tend to think that malicious behavior is something independent from education and that it is unique to humans. But where does it come from? If lack of education leads a man to throw stones at a dog, then what leads the same from abusing, gang-raping, torturing a child for example? Is that a product of ignorance too, or is it classified as something else than ignorance, and why?
