While at the same time we MUST PLAINLY admit that on day one, we don't understand this event, because on its face it is pretty much incomprehensible, And it came from a psychology that we don't understand and a culture we are only partly familiar with, It is important for us to believe we DO understand, because our brains need a narrative for it. All things need explanation. And in 2016 the narrative is political. So, ~ This is where we are now ~ if we don't understand, at least we can have opinions which nobody can safely disagree with; and we can blame others, which comforts us and makes us feel superior. To me, it is an offensive reaction to the event. People are dead and you want to make a point. But fine, it's 2016, have fun being all political. |
