This is sick sh@t - the need of an enemy

This seems fucking right:

maybe there is a real reason to keep an eye on something.

Theories emerge, some right, some wrong.

The reluctant reflexion turms into a downfall of conscience and morality.

And then it has turned into a system which needs enemies - the good beginning has changed into a morbid trap of leading away from being human. Or otherwise: the trap has begun trapping the followers.

I think it's better always looking for proofs and conscious deductions which make sense... and being silent as long as you have nothing to say actually...

But... but...

This is where our nature and reality clashes with idealistic morality...

Tell me, of any animal species, whose members do not at some point compete against other members of their own species... Is it immoral for a lion to kill another lion for hunting grounds or females?

So let me ask, are we different? Are we supposed to be different?

Or are we superimposing our ideology on a system that is free from morality?

Morality is a system of strategies and settings to make a living of different humans possible.

Killing each other may happen but is not approbriate among humans.

Among highlly brain creatures the symbolic becomes more evident.

You act your killing mentality in symboloc ways.

Thus the symbolic becomes a tool of evolution.

And the ability of consciense becomes a tool of equilibrium establishment which works more effective than simply real killing.

To conscient creature's real killing is more than simply disappearance - there is much energy to be considered regarding in mourning, remembering, organizing etc.

But could you agree, that at some point even symbolism goes too far? We can watch people allowing themselves to be "killed" by conspiracy theories of mass population reduction... and the fear of this literally kills their spirit. But what of those who do not allow themselves to be controlled by such fear? They don't seem to be dying.

So is this more an issue of conspiracies killing us... or is it more an issue of mass suicide?
