It is only natural that we become cynical when we see the same issues on the headlines for the wrong reasons: wanton killings leave us befuddled.
We wonder why kill innocents that are totally unrelated to those who perpetrate the killing spree. Maybe, they cannot tolerate those who carry on with their lives happily.
The issue could well be the perpetrators think others get away with a carefree life while they bind themselves into knots within the stranglehold of their belief. It is then for them to see the light of the day and come out of their closet.
If they find comfort and fulfillment in how they lead their lives, why go after others who should also be free to lead their lives they choose to? Now the provocation seems to be intolerance of others lifestyle though the majority just carry on while the few evil, under the guise of their belief, kill those who do not toe their line. It is more of blind rage and hatred that are anathema to love that drives the creative process.
It is time to come to grips with the reality to look at issues holistically – live and let others live.

@Marty1 Creation is filled with diversity at every level.
I believe in the oneness of humanity and the uniqueness in each of us.
There should be a reason why our thumbprints are different.
But some just want to subjugate others by any means and lord over them.
They employ any means to achieve their evil agenda.
So these acts are meant for that - siva

If only we would all embrace the principle of live and let live and let God fight his own battles. But this world does not embrace or want that!

@Shiva49 The truth is that mankind overwhelmingly is sowing seeds that will eventually mature into a negative and destructive world. Look at the entertainment that is fed mankind.

@1hopefulman I also have a view - we shall overcome, and it will happen before we cross the border of no return - siva

It is a terrible mess and it would be wonderful if everyone could just leave others alone.

misunderstanding and intolerance are the causes for this.

@jayaramas I think it is more of blind rage against the lifestyle of others.
I live a life that gives fulfillment and that is through being useful to society at large and not to benefit few based on beliefs etc.
There is a Chinese saying " a good neighbor is more useful than a distant relative" - siva

It is time to come out of the rut not only to pass to the next stage of coexistence here, but also for bare survival.
The majority has to act in a coordinated manner and not like what Mark Twain lamented quoting Charles Dudley Warner : Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it - siva
