Gruesome Images Shared

It is a sickening time for most of us... When the internet exposes the worst in us.. Without a doubt many of us recoil in horror... When a video clip shows us images of mass murder... When the cold blooded fanaticism that is IS.. Is brutally exposed in video clips of merciless butchery.. Such merciless killings to propagate an ideology... Is an aberration of decent human behaviour never before in history... Coldblooded killings and loathsome butcherings of fellowmen.. What has our society become, why are there such men... Human beings are creatures with souls unlike animals in the wild... The senseless waste of another's life is but a wanton crime... How can there be among the civilised man such uncivilised means... To empower some misguided people to propagate violence and hate... To execute horrors unimaginable and incomprehensible... Merely to command fear and obedience, even dominance...

I ask myself these questions all the time. How can modern man be so cruel and savage? Evil exists in this world and seems to be running rampant, but there is still hope. A well written narrative, Keng! Love, Kim

Tq for comment after reading... Yea, it's the depths of cruelty... That rightly horrifies you and me.. How can there be such butcheries... Inflicted on fellow men to propagate an ideology...
