Human society as a whole is bound by hatred, but why are we so incapable of suppressing negative and detrimental sentiments?
When I think of fatalities, like the one who occurred in Berlin recently, on December 19, I feel the urge to understand the general disturbances and grievances that undermines human civilization as a whole, and I throw it out in the air the question: are human beings really civilized? Or are we animals, with lust for hatred and destruction? Well, most human beings are, indeed, educated and civilized. Human beings are complex, and we can’t make whatsoever any general statements in what concerns human nature. Human beings have so many individual peculiarities – and yet, we are bound by so many similarities, because the human nature, obviously, is applicable to everyone that is human – that you can’t risk any analysis on the matter, without sounding superficial. History has demonstrated to each and every one of us that very good human beings can become bad, and that very bad human beings can become good. It deeply depends on their morals, character, behavior and circumstances in life. But there are also people that never change: people who have inherently a very good and decent character, and remain as such for the rest of their lives, and malignant people, who remain malignant for the rest of their lives, too.

But the danger in malignant people and malevolent characters becomes real when they reveal themselves to be a danger to others. What lies beyond the horrendous threat of terrorist activities that has victimized Europe so ostensibly this year? We all know the answers to that. Since extreme jihadists has entered into the continent, they extensively proved the fragility of the overall migration policies of the vast majority of countries in central and western Europe, as well as the vulnerability represented by the Schengen area. But since I don’t believe in intolerance, aggression, the demonizing of a culture or religious belief, and hatred speeches even less, I can only point it out the fact that the complexity of a situation like this is above any personal conclusions.
I just want to highlight that, unfortunately, unbeknownst to us all, hatred is always out there, working in the darkness, in a multitude of forms and plans, to cause damages and death tolls to innocent humans. Evil and hatred are always working secretly, in the shadows, confined in solitude, to ignite an aggressive and deadly conflagration when we least expect. Nonetheless, I don’t want to sound as an alarmist. Deep inside, each one of us sincerely has hopes to live in a world where evil does not exist. But how can we achieve such a degree of prosperity?
