Let me begin by stating that this is the list of characters who influenced ME and my path to finding my inner boogey man. Not everyone's list will be the same, as well it shouldn't be. Honestly, not everyone has an inner bad guy. And while I accept that, I don't envy it. Those poor people will be the ones who collapse into the fetal position and weep when the world goes to shit. Anywho, here are the ones who helped me arrive at mine.
Tyler Durden --- Tyler taught me 1). The world is a giant pile of fake shit. To get to something real you have to take some lumps and quit worrying what others think. 2). The version of yourself you show the world isn't a particularly truthful one. 3). You determine your own level of involvement. Don't wait around and take the spoon fed memo version of what's happening. 4). Things evolve. Situations evolve. You better be willing to do the same.
Anton Chigurh --- 1). Sometimes saying little or nothing is most effective. 2). Be willing to do what the other guy won't. 3). You can't escape your fate. Accept it.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter --- 1). You can be charming and smart and still be completely terrifying. 2). Some people aren't worthy of your company. Don't waste your gifts on them. 3). God made us what we are
Dexter --- 1). You can be a bad guy AND a good guy simultaneously. 2). How to try to fit in, regardless of what you're really thinking. 3). Guard your family.
Now in addition to all of them being psychopaths/sociopaths, they were all true to themselves and executed their beliefs wholeheartedly, no matter how disturbing. We should all strive to do the same. Practice makes perfect.
