The "Children"

[zenmaster]

I don't see anything particular about this incident which provides more info or insight into the conditions which contributed to the behavior. If there was indeed a specifically planned purpose as you indicate, you'd think the info would be more readily available (as with the numerous other incidents involving imbalanced individuals which did not particularly shed light on any socially addressable cause). Sure we should investigate all levels, but even your "inside connection" could not do anything but frame this as an emotional impression which should be looked into. In other words "duh".

In my thinking if a person is not angered and emotionally disturbed at the murder of innocent children, I think they may be having their own emotional detachment issues.

Much more importantly, do you actually care if the conditions which foster this behavior are actually addressed? Or are we perpetuating a cycle.

Exactly Zen, I agree wholeheartedly.

Detachment from the emotions which are stirred would only disable the reactions which could break such cycles.

The true evil here is becoming so desensitized to such catalyst that we reach a point where it actually becomes tolerable.

THIS is the cycle of darkness.

I'm gonna say this is very much of little importance. That is your extremely limited notion of the proper evidence of healing... I would basically not attempt to classify the healing modalities of others and instead consider your own contribution.
