Killing ourselves by murdering our conscience

Governments have nuclear weapons. Individuals have bombs and guns. Governments sit by impotently while individuals rage wars. Our hatred knows no bounds; it has been legitimized. We kill a person in our country, and we "might" be called murderers. Killing a person in another country "might" make us terrorists. It usually depends on the color of your skin and what you have on your face. If you are fair enough, you are fair enough. If you are dark, of course you have been designed with dark thoughts. To have a gun and use it, you just need a long beard or a large bindi. The state of our world is perhaps at its bleakest. But we still find time to crack jokes about terrorists.
