True and it's interesting, there's a huge difference between being killed by a tiger and being killed by a person.
A tiger is just looking for lunch and answering its instincts. A person, because they are self-aware, is aware of what they're doing... not only that, but also, aware of what it means to be the other, suffering person.
Unless the perpetrator is sociopathic. But also interestingly, sociopaths' worst acts are described as
inhuman, for that lack of awareness.
"monster" is similarly a description of something non-human. (Not you, monster)
