Terrorism Writ Small

Coldly calculated deliberately intended terror-inducing violence, physical and/or verbal, is motivated by anger and fear, but also sometimes, on a larger scale, by beliefs that vengeance can be, or at least eventually become, ecopolitically justified means toward an egocentrically healthy outcome. Corollary: Nihilism could help me one day feel and think and breathe OK. Anyone who has been excruciatingly yet properly raised by four, or perhaps even two, teenagers, each of whom believes it is his or her, or whatever in-between, duty to update your more cooperative networking skills, hopefully will have learned that both belief in vengeful nastiness and its nihilistic corollary are errors in ecopolitically healthy and correct judgment.
