TERRORISM...OF THE MIND AND THE OTHER WAY ROUND!

Apparently, every kid can spell terrorism with ease these days as its search constantly hits perhaps about a million daily through search engine giant Google, as different strikes occur every now and then. Too bad right? i'd say.
Unfortunately or perhaps if there is a better word to describe it, especially if it can in this context be synonymous with "naturally", we easily fall back into our comfort zones shortly after the dust settles from another bomb explosion. We mourn the casualties, comfort the bereaved, pray for guidance and protection, thank God we are alive, and then move on, and deep down in our hearts we secretly tremble with an involuntary anticipation of another strike which we cannot possibly guaranty that our government can in any way avert.
 

Jean Baudrillard of The European Graduate school did a fine intellectual piece about "The Mind of Terrorism" an excerpt of which goes thus.

"We have had plenty of global events in recent years, from the death of Diana to the world cup, as well as plenty of violent and real events, from wars to genocides. But a symbolic event global in reach, an event that is not only broadcast worldwide but that threatens globalization itself had not yet occurred. For the lenght of the stagnant nineties, in the words of Argentine writer Macedonio Fernandez, "events were on strike" Well, the strike is over.
Events are back at work. With the attack on the World Trade Center, we have now witnessed the ultimate event, the mother of all events, an event so pure it contains within it all the events that never took place.

All the speeches and commentaries made since September 11 betray a gigantic post-traumatic ab-reaction both to the event itself and to the fascination that it exerts. The moral condemnation and the sacred union against terrorism are directly proportional to the prodigious jubilation felt at having seen this global superpower destroyed, because it was this insufferable superpower that gave rise both to the violence now spreading throughout the world and to the terrorist imagination that (without knowing it) dwells within us all"

How do you really identify a terrorist in a food chain which determines the aftermath of the healthy existence of an Eco system? 
Who is the "Antagonist" and whom can we refer to as the "Protagonist" in the scenario?
When ants eat the worm, and a lizard eats the ants, then a bird consumes the lizard, only for the fox to feast on the bird, while the lion makes the fox it's meal.

In real life situation, it is actually survival of the fittest where dog eats dog, not necessarily in a dog eating contest. The Pareto Principle still potently applies. A few people naturally have leadership potential and easily rise to the top of the food chain where dinner is conveniently served in a gold platter.

It will be easy, more like playing a game of chess with real people.

    

In a lighter view, or perhaps in a deliberate fashion of peripheral perspective (which is absolutely questionable), who do we consider a terrorist, the one who challenges me for my resources on my soil or i that bravely stands up to fight for my right? In line with principles the table actually turns. We become different people at different times depending on the different prevailing circumstance at each point in time.

Our inquisitiveness, diversification and versatility usually determine how well we unleash the truth and how eventually bewildered we become by the fact we choose to embrace and the complementing contrast.

Whatever happens or the world comes up with, they are sure to either blow us all up, or simply blow up our minds, and yes, just like terrorists.
