Sadism

Sadism is not be able to cope with barriers, is to put conscience in the off-mode and to enjoy to damage everything and everyone who puts him or her the slightest obstacle in the way or would like to do so. 
In other words, sadism is a weakness, a shortcoming.

Safety

Safety is - without the risk of damages - be able to function in the way that you think is right. Conditions for this are established agreements not to damage which are also lived up to. Appointments that only can be made by humane people, because with inhumane people it is just as bad to make agreements as with [beastlike] animals, plants, micro-organisms, virus-like species and elements. Considering that is 6 to 1 and half of it is small in size but large in number, safety is an illusion.

Secret alliances

A secret is something that others [some or everyone] may not know. The reasons can be both
  • willingly [e.g. humane opposition to personal, informational, economic and cultural-political crimes and terror] or 
  • unwillingly [e.g. to commit personal, informative, economic and cultural-political crimes and terror].
As soon as more than one is voluntarily involved in the secret, an alliance is created.

Short-sightedness

Short-sighted behavior is an ostrich policy. Is to look no further than your own interest in the short term and put the rest on the long track. Is, in spite of what he suggests, one of the most important characteristics of homo-sapiens.

Sorrow entertainment

Sorrow entertainment is a vengeful emotion. Is entertaining yourself with the sorrow of another. Both in the past and in the present there are plenty of examples of where that can lead to. Unscrupulous as he is, the homo-sapiens speaks well about it with all kinds of arguments.
