A society that does not value life is doomed to perpetrate ghastly crimes against humanity. When individuals or society has no regard for human life, all humanity becomes expendable, which means the weak, smaller societal or religious groups are targeted first and then it works up the line from there. No life is left unmarked by this evil. We’ve seen this occur throughout history and in recent history; whether it be the current attacks on Christians around the world, Hamas attacking Israel with the goal of eliminating the Jewish Nation and Jews around the world, to Boko Haram kidnapping Christian girls in Nigeria, this evil continues. Even after World War II, when the world agreed to never forget, we have those who deny that the holocaust ever happened.
What is this motivation for such disregard for human life? What evil stirs within a person or persons to strike out and attempt these things? What stirs them to this level of hatred to eliminate the Jews or for that matter, an unborn child? What threat to they pose? Even today we see a push to starve out populations in the name of climate change/global warming, blaming those who feed the world for raising cattle that pass gas, supposedly endangering the world to extinction w hen they know it is all a lie? Yes, even a one world government pushes an evil agenda to eliminate two-thirds of the world’s population in order to ‘save’ humanity from itself because people use fossil fuels.
As one studies the ghastly attempts and events to destroy or eliminate one group or another, one should seek to understand the reasons for such horrendous actions. These events are caused by a lack of morality, which is fed by hatred, which is the spawn of 1) FEAR, 2) GREED and 3) the unquenchable thirst for POWER/CONTROL over those targeted people.
When morals are lost, there is no way to control hatred. Fear of judgement by those who have moral standards are attacked, mocked and targeted for honoring ancient beliefs, even when those standards has stood the test of time and proven valid over and over again. Religions are forced to change ideologies in the name of inclusion or be targeted for not accepting those who want things their way. Beliefs are targeted because they cause self infliction of the conscience, calling out the evil.
Greed motivates those who covet what others have. Instead of working hard to achieve, greed takes without effort applied, which then devalues that which was coveted in the first place because it wasn’t earned but taken (stolen) and the satisfaction of earning the prize isn’t realized. Still, greed continues to cause a thirst for even more as it blinds those to the truth of the matter, because they are not satisfied.
Power/Control is desired because it supposedly brings prestige and honor. The problem with this vice is that it is forced upon the people rather than given by them. Manipulating the people with lies, to believe untruths about a targeted people who are actually the opposite, causes hatred to devalue anything and everything; life, beliefs, creativity and intelligence. By this, we have lowered all humanity to the level of feral animals who kill or who will be killed under the Law of Nature.
History has proven that even though humanity has superior intelligence and is designated to be above animals because we have education, intelligence, creativity and ability to know right from wrong, we cannot stop hatred. The evil that deceives us and attempts to destroy a society with moral standards has one adversary and that is TRUTH. The saying; “Truth shall set you free.”, is hope humanity has. For under TRUTH comes Hope, Love and Peace, which are all stronger than hatred’s fear, greed and power. The only way to fight hatred is to stand up against it, push back with Truth and Love to gain Peace.
