Many folks will tell you that they are fighting for justice and when you ask them about it and find out a little bit of their history you will find that they were discriminated against at some point in their life and they want to make sure it never happens to anyone else again.
They tell us that this is their inspiration, but I'd like to explain some of my life experience and observation of such folks.
You see, those who would be willing to inflict the most pain on other are generally those who have had the most pain (physical or emotional inflicted upon them).
Would you like some examples? What about Adolph Hitler who even titled his book; "My Struggle" and later inflicted torture and pain on entire groups of society and later caused the worst World War in History? Would you like a more contemporary example? Sure, well there are millions of bloggers and folks in online forums who are constantly attacking and lashing out, they are from groups who perceive to have been victimized by discrimination.
They then rise up and call for justice, all the while doing injustice with harsh words to others online, often shouting others down and calling them unbelievable things.
You see, if you use discrimination as your inspiration or as a means to justify your actions then the real problem in the world is not that which you attack, but rather it is inside of you and how you now view the world.
You are viewing the world through the eyes of a damaged soul, one that needs to be made hole, but you cannot get that done until you forgive others and admit your own revenge motivations and evil intentions.
Sorry to be the one to break this news to you, but don't shoot the messenger Mr.
and Mrs.
Obama.
