Why is it so easy to have an unquestionable evil in the form of ‘the others’.

60 years ago it used to be the Germans and the Japanese. 30 years ago it was the soviet unions. 15 years ago it was the Taliban and today it’s ISIS.

Bad things are always happening in this world and always have been. It isn’t that they have increased a lot recently – humans before went through a similar fear collectively that we expose ourselves to today. It’s just how it gets reported to us from a narrow perspective. It’s how we remain governed by a few and it’s how countries are run. The art of human manipulation eh!

If we realize how much fear makes us limit ourselves and not question authority, we obviously wouldn’t let it happen. So one may ask – why do we have the need to have ‘the others’?

Maybe without the enemy, we will have to face the presence of evil within ourselves.

Yet, how convenient is it for us to automatically assume that we are on the same side as the Angels and the ‘they’ are the real evil that we have to eradicate.
