2023 Era of How to Make Matters Public, Guns, and Emotions :Can Be a Retrogressive Mix
Posted by HCN on Sunday, October 29, 2023
The situation is global.
The US just underwent some trauma in the past few weeks. Mass shootings, and attacks on government officials using firearms.
The amount of casualties, perhaps around 30 fatalities total, that made the news.
As you may anticipate, later in this story, there will be statements which refer to things being held relative.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, this past August, community and much more was marred by an incident of a partner shooting his female partner, and live streaming it.
There has been public outcry in the region, over what seems to be a trend of using live stream to be a part of the picture, that involves violence, and the point or objective the shooter may have.
Back here in the US, there have been live streaming or social media posts, where persons have been shot or attacked.
What does retrogressive mean, especially here in the context? It means the reverse of making progress. Peace is many times what many want to see progress made in or arrive at. The mix of guns, and emotions, and using social media tools available in this era, can lead to retrogression. In the future there may be other social media tools, or simply tools, involved in different ways to interact. The hope is, those tools will not be abused for the wrong purposes either.
The numbers of fatalities in recent events around the world point out something, the value of human life. Sensible human beings value human life, regardless of who, what, when, where.
Today a report came in that about 8,000 persons in Gaza have died, in the sequence after about 1300 persons died from the attack on October 7, 2023 in the larger region.
Wait just a moment, are these numbers of people dying for the sake of peace, security, and the prevention of future deaths? There is no way 3,000 children dead, from ethnicities and ancestries that are in some aspects sometimes, close cousins, are to blame for the strategies of a handful of masterminds of attacks.
In the tests of human life, there will come times where the fine line between ruthlessness for an objective, such as the stability of a nation and perpetuation of its future, and a conflict of interest when going to far, will be presented.
At a juncture now where mankind is nearing witnessing 10,000 deaths, if not already, in the time span of under one month, and a geographic region where persons can travel to both ends in about a day. This number is:
Some other method for the objective besides bloodshed.
Anything can become the object of a cathexis if not careful.
Uncontrolled and out of control pursuance of an objective, or a response from a stimulus, could occur.
The topic being brought up, is simply killing, and going into a gross disproportion to what humanity says is acceptable, may not always be a viable solution to an objective.
How much is too much, is the method truly acceptable to all, in the eyes of others? even though, a people or groups of people underwent torment such as the Holocaust.
Perhaps the biggest point, is that when help is needed for medical and health conditions which could lead to major catastrophes, to make sure these are provided, could prevent the catastrophes.
In the USA, some if not all the trauma that occurred with an individual behind a gun, was after, in the sequence of events, from being affected psychologically, psychiatrically, or emotionally. Such as the mass shooting that just happened a few days ago in Maine (USA). In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the live stream attack that also included a few other persons and the shooter, is evident involved highly charged emotions. Emotions ran very hot after the attack on October 7th in Middle East, as well as many emotions in decades past on different sides of the tension in region.

At a juncture now where mankind is nearing witnessing 10,000 deaths, if not already, in the time span of under one month, and a geographic region where persons can travel to both ends in about a day. This number is:
- About 3 times as many as the fatalities stemming from the 9-11 tragedy in US, in 2001
- About a fifth of the fatalities from the earthquakes that affected the region in and around Turkey earlier this year February
- Around 5 to 10 times as many fatalities from the earthquake in Afghanistan earlier this month
- Statistics differ as to how many people died, soldiers and civilians in Russia and Ukraine from the tensions marked after the invasion in February 2022, but for making the point here, the amount according to some reports is about the same or more!
