"I'm not really making a statement, I just fear society overall."

(30 posts)Somehow I cannot compare any US Citizen with the Islamic Radicals that murder, behead, lash and mutilate. I must be missing something. Please explain this to me.

(65,616 posts)So much so that they fear society overall. Their mindset is so far gone in some strange dystopia-world view delusion, that they are a danger to themselves and the people around them.
Anything else?

(30 posts)People who mutilate young girls are especially evil. People who butcher innocent people because of their sexual orientation are evil. I do not believe it's caused by fear, it's madness. I put them in a class of all their own.

misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)Absolutely must see to get an idea just how deep the sadness and affection goes. And to express that as magnificently as these artists have here is an honorable tribute to yesterday's tragedy
What beauty.

Ars longa, vita brevis is a Latin translation of an aphorism coming originally from Greek. The Latin quote is often rendered in English as Art is long, life is short.
thank you, GreatCaesarsGhost

Ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
iudicium difficile.
Life is short,
[the] art long,
opportunity fleeting,
experiment dangerous,
judgment difficult.
