I am thinking about attachment today. I believe there is an intersection between attachment and the two brain systems. Secure attachment can be seen as a way of thinking in which the two systems are integrated and the two work smoothly together.
The combination of emotions and an ability to organize thoughts allow us to imagine solutions. This is used by people who are categorized as “secure.” They have emotions, they respond, they solve the problem.
I understand that motive for murder, but I don’t want to understand it. It’s horrifying. The impression of evil is very heavy. There is no greater harm than giving our suffering to another.
