Days like this really make me question what is happening in the world, i have a young Grand daughter and wonder what sort of world she is going to have to grow up in. What is it about human nature that causes people to act like this? You wouldn't think that it would be too much to ask to be able to live without fear anywhere in the world.
The sad thing for me is that this all stems from religion, my gods better than your god !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can understand people having faith but to carry out acts like this in the name of religion is just sickening.
It is incredibly depressing. But someone else said 'I'm not sure I want to bring anymore kids into this world'.
It is a big world really, and such things shouldn't really deter anyone from having children.
If I had my way, 'religion' would be laughed off the planet and all kids would be schooled in virtue. I mean, I know most relgions have "do unto others.." etc written in, but they can all be perverted.
These people though, "murderers" "barbarians" etc Are they acting out of desperation? Desperate men do bad things of course. But it looks like dogmatic psychotic cult loony madness to almost everybody.
Knowledge is virtue Aristotle said or Socrates, or some ANCIENT greek. And yet here we are and as we were. Regimes, dictatorships, genocides, terrorism, and so on. No end in sight.
But still, gotta carry on, what else is there to do.
