Fear – of wot?

While creating awareness of clandestine ugly operations I ask myself:

What is the spirit of these people? It comes to mind they might love death. Some religous thought that at the end we all must die, so death is a mythical thing, a great thing God invented for us. If you know the bible, isn’t it obvious that all of our existence is approaching ‘the last day’, when a new messia is coming, a new order is established, an age of justice (which we are not in now) will come?

Well, there’s a number of problems with this sight actually. First, the mindset of those is based on a fundamental lie, a cognitive dissonance. There’s an unmentioned difference in regard to oneself and the outside world: When talking about amargeddon or last justice, believers think they will be resurected while others are not.

This way it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. (I’ll expand on this later. Self fulfilling prophecy is an underestimated topic BTW).

Second it leads to the paradox that if others die this is actually a good thing (especially when it corresponds to some foresight) – but: for yourself other rules apply. The goal for oneself is different from the goal of everybody else. You are an insider. Others are not.

The paradox is that everybody may claim this POV but obviously not everybody can be right. As a consequence to those people their own death means ~failing~ while the death of others – which claim the same right for themselfes as they do – means success.

Those who fear death most, unconciously seek it for others.
