Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!

The characteristics of violence are empathetic to any cause and the tactics in any conflict are quickly shared by enemies.

It is an agreement of the justified, the righteous, and the vindicated mindsets.
All encouraging conflict,
All escalating destructive actions.

And while no people on earth harbor hatred above safety, wish death upon a perceived enemy above the health of their loved ones, conflict can be placed at any doorstep.

Bombs can fall on homes, schools, and places of worship men with guns will kill civilians, unintentionally or without care.

The justified, the righteous, and the vindicated mindsets condemn the destructive actions of the other and legitimize their own.

The fate of any people depends on the actions of leaders, the mindsets of those in charge, and the tactics they use whether it is to protect the people, or not.

When leaders target the people, their own or those of another nation, when they slaughter the innocent to further a cause they invite reprisal, retaliation, and vengeance upon their people, upon themselves, intentionally and without care.

History is full of examples of how conflicts begin and hard lessons on how they end.

And while the characteristics of violence are empathetic to any cause the characteristics of empathy are not.

And neither is
This Week in Science.
