Right. Well, then, more objectively: have you ever acted from a deliberate desire to cause harm for no purpose other than your enjoyment?

I don't speak, mind, of being difficult, or making jokes, or to - I believe the term that the young people use is "troll." I mean have you ever actively tried to inflict physical or emotional harm because you'd enjoy seeing it done. And truly think about this answer; don't speak from any sort of masochistic impulse, but from genuine consideration.
