Don’t blame governments, corporations or religions (i.e. as
in the case of the last few days; ISIS) for the actions that appear to come
from them. These organizations don’t speak
for everyone in them. They are not an entity
that exists in the real world. They don’t
just magically make things happen.
There are people that believe in the mission statements of
these organizations that make things happen. They sign the executive orders and memos, create
the policies, interpret the belief systems, carry out orders and, in some cases,
injure and kill innocent people that don’t always share the belief system of organization
they are attacking.
Every time we blame a corporation, a government or a
religion for actions that harm people we give cover to the people that carryout
the actions. In some cases, we make them heroes. We also justify our own response by
punishing, harming and killing all people in the organization staking claim to
the evil act regardless of each member’s personal beliefs.
Action against an organization creates a response of revenge
against an organization.
So, next time you want to blame an organization for things
that have happen, don’t. Blame a person. Seek the individuals that carried out the
action. Punish them. This will send a message of support to those
that don’t share the criminal’s beliefs and warn those that will consider
future action that they personally will be sought, will be personally held
responsible and they will have no cover.
