I removed the following text as per the No Original Research policy. If anyone can cite sources for these claims, feel free to add them back in:
Few people perceive that human cruelty across the ages, originates from a misdirected effort to end psychological pain. It has become the hallmark of a human to project our inner pain onto another and then seek to destroy that other. The biblical "beam in thine own eye" is a clue that is critical to understanding the nature & effect of psychological pain. The temporary relief of psychological pain, today, is used to sell anything from cigarettes to movies. How could Anakin Skywalker become Darth Vader without the increase of his psychological pain? It allows us projection. People will pay money in order to be able to project their psychological pain unto a fictional character, metaphor or drug induced state, even if it is only temporary relief. This is because the nature of psychological pain is entwined with our human tendency towards addiction.
