An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Reaction to the murder of that CEO is an indicator. Reaction to the war between Hamas and Israel is an indicator. Reaction to almost everything is an indicator.

By killing each other, we are killing ourselves. We are monumentally stupid. Emotion is doing this to us. Yes, I understand why people are angry. I understand why they are afraid.
