People's cruelty to others seems to know no bounds. When these things happen I used to lash out, these days I hope for poetic justice instead, probably and equally maladjusted response to it all.

An individual's ability to think and behave like this often stems from two previous mental set ups. One involves a sense of moral or even physical superiority to the objective person. This is seen in racism and and other situations where people find their lot in life superior, I am white you are black (you can substitute tons of variables here that have allowed genocides to occurs for centuries including the ethnic cleansing of "the Indian heathens" from North America), I am a Christian you are not, which has been at the center of untold conflicts like the Crusades. In the worst cases it requires the antagonist to dehumanize others to allow extreme abhorrent behavior, the killing fields of Cambodia, the holocaust.... you are less than human so what I do matters not. While these are all extreme examples, they are all based in believing that someone else is less. Some people cannot live with others who look, think, or behave differently then themselves. Ironically the person with this belief is the one who is less.

It is still believed that there is a dormancy period for HPV like with many other viruses such as HSV1 and 2. But that has not been scientifically proven. This will require finding it in its non active state somewhere like the HSV residing on the ganglion of our nerves when it is not active.
