      My favorite quote of that guy, paraphrased, goes something like "Should we feel bad about using dishonest, immoral, and even bad tactics against our enemies and opponents? The answer is, if men were good and just, it would be morally wrong to use bad tactics against good and righteous men. But men are not good, they are bad, and since men are bad, and do not do right unless they are forced to, and at all other times they do wrong, we should have no hesitation treating bad people with bad tactics."

    Man, Gus was downright scary. Like, horror movie scary. He looked and acted just like an ordinary friendly civilized man when, in fact, he was a dangerous, calculating, cold-blooded murderer. He'd shake your hand with one hand and slit your throat with the other. His subtlety is what made him so terrifying. At least Tuco would look you in the eye and tell you he's gonna kill you, but with Gus, you won't see it coming.

    This may be a strange comparison, but Gus always reminded me a bit of Hannibal Lecter. Especially in his mannerisms: an obsession with excellence and dignified presentation (right down to the nervous tie adjustment), the love and appreciation for food, the traumatic childhood in which both characters starved (albeit in very different ways), and habit of constantly surrounding themselves with people who adore them and thoroughly trust them while committing constant acts of evil just out of sight of their party guests. They’re both socially beloved and intellectually praised puppet masters who love food and well tailored suits, but with a shared hatred of rude and sloppy people.
    The two main differences are that Gus isn’t a cannibal, and Hannibal Lecter was born into generational wealth while Gus was born into poverty and became wealthy on his own.

    The scariest part is having observe sadism in the actions of kids when I was younger. Then knowing that these kids turning into adults will learn how to cover up their sadistic tendencies. Sadism is also embedded deep within most, if not all of us, and there are moments when it rears its ugly head. Even if it is just in our minds.
