VT continued. A rant.
And so we see that it is not "terrorism" we must fear. Not other cultures, not other races. Just people in general. We must fear our own ability to take a weapon, and take out our anger and desperation on innocence.
And nowadays, in some places, it is far too easy to acquire a weapon that makes mass killing simple. Easy.
Nature gave us flat little teeth, fragile nails, some strength in our arms. And a brain much too clever at making tools in relation to the simplicity of our emotions. Our teeth, nails and muscles will let us kill, but only with great effort, and slowly. Our tools change all that.
Most of us never lose it. Most of us accept life's hardships and pains with only minor striking out a world that seems cruel or unfair. I do not know what makes one person capable of such action, and another not. I wonder how much has to do with a person's experience and perceptions, and how much with a person's basic physical makeup. Ability to "feel another's pain."
I do not know.
