From what aspect of self can we be so convinced as to strap explosives to one's body, climb into an ambulance on its way to hospital filled with injured people as a result of a suicide bomb, then wait until the ambulance arrives and self-detonate to kill not only me, but also the doctors, nurses and already injured people?
When we understand the nature of the psyche that can be manipulated to act with such disconnection from one's inherent humanity; when we can realise that presented with the same birth, upbringing, acculturation and convincing arguments for martyrdom, we might have made similar choices.
Only then can we begin to ligate the dualistic disparity between what we label 'good' and 'evil'.
Evil is, after all, only 'live' spelled backwards ...
