"What is the root of causes of terrorism ?" , perhaps it's an introduction of idea terrorism is the cause of another terrorism.
Following this "causal method" , would we meet a circle of revenge ?
I used to watch a kung fu Chinese movies where a father being killed, followed with the son kill back the killer, continuous by the son of the killer kill back the warrior son, and to the grandson and so on .....until you do not know anymore who is the warrior or who is the killer !
An old circle that are still moving to this post-modern age ! During the Ambon tragedy, A pregnant mother was "literally" butchered, her stomach was slit with her baby inside her - so tragic that the victim's family took the revange by butcher back the killer & any the killers family & related...Scary huh...!
Perhaps that can explain why so many people died by becoming an effective & creative killing machine for each other and how this circle is difficult to be stopped once it started. By this, can human understand how immoral & irresponsible those who use hattrace as strategy ?
The circle of hattrace is there, the equality will never be achieved , the tendency of pursuing power is there, the fear of being dominated is there, there is no simple solution for that..YES...how are human to manage this together ? ....but I think the more important question is, are we a butcher ?
Yes , there're so many analysis on the causes - perhaps it's because the education, communication, poverty , injustice , or many other things , again using the causal method ! But still how can we explain that big corrupter often is not the poor but very rich ? A serial killer is not those who are not educated but genius. A killer is often not those who don't have religion !
It's easier to blame others, (as it's more difficult to re-questioning ourselves) - human history even with their diversified culture has their own darkest & bloody history and it's very tempting to just blame each other!
"Terorism" (read "slaughting") is exist in many culture , but any of it should be written in red ink black page, not in contrary to be something to be proud of ! The dangerous lies when people try to deny it by justify it !
Yes, surely -I think - there's a strong relation between welfare on crime - no excuses for injustice - good people have to kept on trying resolve it even tough looks imposible , but then welfare & justice alone cannot answer/explain all crime's problems.
Crime is still crime, denying or excusing it would open the door for justifying any crime , and unavoided ambiguity is the catalys to open the door even wider !
