Our ego is automatically built
based on our daily experiences, and over time the boundaries we create to make
it stay protected is built as well. I read some news about a Danish girl who
was shown some videos of ISIS and her friend was telling her about it. She was
fooled and she killed her mother, with her friend as an accomplice in the
murder. The person who wrote the story went on blaming the ISIS group of
playing with the minds of innocent citizens in highly developed countries like
Denmark.
My note is that it seems that
every human being tends to ward off the responsibility of a bad act from
himself. We find out that people tend to victimize external factors and fail to
address the deeply connected issues that underlie a certain action, but human beings in general don't have the capacity of being so diligent in every issue so we tend to victimize as a short cut. Without knowing her health status, her relation with her
family, her connection with her mom, whether she has friends, and so on. When
feeling so defeated, the news writer pushed the blame upon the videos she has
seen.
We all are aware that visual
stories and incidents can have a great effect on the human mind but is it right
to reduce big movements taken by a person to the mere viewing of some videos.
