The Endless Cycle

There is a cycle out there that we have been a part of, no matter what walk of life you come from you have seen some form of it in your life.This cycle causes pain, suffering, hate, war, rage, and sorrow. This cycle is caused by those who have no idea of the cost of a human life. This is the cycle of revenge. A painful cycle that can and probably never be broken by anyone in this time. There are so many things that cause entrance into this cycle. Greed, lust, envy, pride, wrath, an unwillingness to see others as equals. All these things are what brings us into to this cycle. We know this and yet we persist that when we participate in these things we are righteous and good, it's everyone that's at fault. You may be wondering why I have started talking about something like this. This was brought about by the recent story of the Arlington terrorist that was arrested a few days ago. He said that he was going to destroy the Capital Building, The Pentagon, and The White House because he believed that America had become evil. Many may say that these are the delusions of a murderer, but I believe that to all words there is some truth. This man believe that this country was so evil that he had to destroy no matter the body toll. This I cannot condone but there must be some truth to his words or he would not have done this. Our country has no been a saint, we have hundreds of civilian war causalities during the Iraq war on our hands. We have spilt our own share of innocent blood over the years, so has every country. This is not an excuse this is a  statement of fact and no matter what I don't believe that when someone is killed, some else doesn't deserve to die. Death begets death, hate begets heat, revenge begets revenge, war begets war. This is an endless cycle that will not be broken until someone can stand up and say that this is wrong and some how bring peace to the world.
